[close] Innocent Blood by James Rollins & Rebecca Cantrell
Book 3 in the Order of the Sanguines Trilogy

What we think we know from the first book, like the identities of the Knight of Christ as well as the Warrior of Man and the Woman of Learning may not be accurate and a large part of the plot hinges on the quest to determine who has what role. Plus we have a new role to determine…the First Angel. We also get to experience several intriguing new characters that are woven into the story line... Rasputin and Judas Iscariot. With the assembled group we now have the potential for the launch of Armageddon. The conclusion left almost as many unanswered questions as answered ones but it does a great job of setting up the third book in the trilogy.

One of the things that set the book on a high mark for me was the fact that was brought out in the story that human nature is an unpredictable character itself. The "good guys" aren’t always good and the "bad guys" aren’t always bad. There are shades of "gray guys" that don’t always make the right choices or always make the wrong ones. This is just very, very good story telling.
