Chasing Eden

by S.L. Linnea


Chasing Eden will educate you, thrill you, and keep you up all night turning pages. You will have the opportunity to become more informed about the war in Iraq , both biblical and mythical versions of Eden , Yale's Skull & Bones, the CIA, and the place of religion in the lives of some of war's participants. The heroine, Chaplain (Maj.) Jaime Richards will astound and delight you. In Jaime, Linnea has created a down to earth yet powerful female mainstay for this drama over the struggle to find and control the entrance into the mysterious Paradise known as Eden . Erase all doubt about this unlikely protagonist and the Iraq War setting. You'll be quickly hooked on plot and action. Once in awhile, you may question the likelihood of some plot point, dispute the obviousness of the good/evil dichotomy, or feel a bit bored by some of the long erudite passages of historical background that make you feel like you're attending to a lecture, but on the whole, you will be riveted. Another minor criticism is the let down of the sudden implausible ending, which will disappoint some, though others may find it most gratifying.
