The Joshua Stone On Tour and a Giveaway



I’m delighted to be participating in author James Barney’s Partners in Crime Virtual Book Tour for his thriller, THE JOSHUA STONE.

As part of the tour, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on this suspenseful book and thanks to James, I have an eBook copy of THE JOSHUA STONE to give away. Please see the end of the post for the details. In addition, I’m listing the other blogs participating in the tour so that you may visit with them to find out more about this intriguing story and have more chances to win a copy.

Here’s my thoughts…

THE JOSHUA STONE by James Barney

This story begins in 1959 in an underground laboratory in a remote region of West Virginia. As you can guess, something goes terribly wrong. Not knowing exactly what went wrong will quickly pull you in for a roller coaster ride of adrenaline-induced action.

Following the accident, President Eisenhower ordered the lab sealed shut, all records destroyed. Scientists had mysteriously disappeared and rescue attempts failed.

Fifty-four years have passed and someone from the lab suddenly appears at a local diner injured and dying. As other mysterious events begin to happen along the New River Valley in West Virginia, government agents Mike Califano and Ana Thorne are sent to investigate. 

Joshua-Stone-James-Barney-coverTheir discovery is unbelievable, touching on science and religion. The agents soon find themselves facing more than they could have ever imaged. It’s up to the two agents top stop a global catastrophe as they work to solve a biblical mystery before time runs out.

Author James Barney knows how to capture your attention and never let go. He’s created likable, well-balanced characters that make the unbelievable, believable. 

THE JOSHUA STONE is an intense suspense thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The story flows smoothly and at a fast pace leaving you breathless at times as the adrenaline kicks in. The plot is harmonious and enthralling.

Barney’s well-developed plot will have you wondering what is fact and what is fiction as he makes it all seems quite possible.
