The Seventh Plague
In the turn of the century, what appeared to be a meteor crashed on Mar's surface? Pieces of the mysterious rock slingshot across space and were hurled to earth. The pieces scattered on the surface set off an array of events which lead to the sterilization of all reproductive systems. Scientists using compounds from the alien meteor found a cure to the sterilization epidemic but triggered events which ultimately threatened the extinction of life on the earth. It's a race against time to save the human civilization from annihilation.

About the author
Gaston D. Cox
6 books5 followersGaston D. Cox, a famous American writer, graduated from Irvine University College of Law and now lives in China. He fled the United States and came to China because of his wounds. First, he worked as an English teacher at Qiqihar University, then he transferred to Shanghai because he was not tolerant of the cold. He has been a university professor, legal adviser and medical representative for several years. Although a seven-foot man is a strong man, I have a delicate and sensitive heart. When I came to China, I was inspired and fell in love with writing. I published many books. The words are passionate and popular with many Chinese fans. His representative works include Cries of insanity, Aurea Mediocritas, Silent Wrongs, The Seventh Plague, and Life Cubed.

Imagine LaHaye/Jenkins took LSD and fell asleep watching a Japanese monster marathon after a sermon about Revelations.
In the late 20th century, Earth – specifically, Wyoming – gets pelted with shards of a mysterious, time-traveling meteor that also hits Mars. While Mars seemingly starts reshaping itself, attention goes to a series of bizarre crises that unfold near Cheyenne, centered around the Sagan family (yes, one of whom is named Carl - no relation, we are told). Tormented Tyler Sagan has a piece of space material lodged in his skull. He disappears from his hospital bed, later to reappear as para-human host to super-powerful extraterrestrial entity, Creatus.
In the meantime, a plague of stillbirths spreads across the state – solved, it seems, with the miracle birth of Carl Sagan’s son Rapha. However, doctors’ hasty vaccine-like treatment – plus the meteorite material gene-splicing with terrestrial biology – begats “Jurassic” DNA in ordinary flora and fauna, turning them into frenzied monsters coordinated by colossal plants. Little Rapha, a destined messiah, defeats demon-creatures with his very touch. Yet he alone is not enough, and over a period of years the horrors engulf the globe; by the time Creatus returns (spewing lots of accusatory Bible stuff), an emergency world government, with surviving Sagans as major players, plan planetary evacuation.
Action never falls short but most of the narrative is just one damned (and we do mean Damned) thing after another, with outsized battles, frequent and near-random shifts in verb tenses, malaprop-laden verbiage (“Another hurdled to an already very compound situation!”), Hebrew and Muslim and maybe Mormon apocalyptic mysticism and lots of exclamation points. Is it possible in all this is the idea of God’s original minions and spirits murderous with jealous rage over the favor and free will bestowed upon Homo sapiens? Beats the…Hell out of us.
