READ THIS BOOK!!! YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!

Huggins hits the target dead center with Cain. For all the fans of The Terminator, Aliens, Predator, this book will get your blood flowing! The story starts out with a top secret bio weapons project gone out of control, as in a lot of other stories. In this experiement, top-notch scientists use the CIA's number 1 secret agent assassin, Roth Tiberius Cain, to create an unstoppable soldier. Cain is dead, but using reanimation, he is brought back to life. Then they make him anything but ordianry fitting him with technological implants and genetic alterations, including internal titanium armor and artificial titanium-cobalt alloy bones, muscle-enhancing steroids, nerual pathway amplifiers, and nervous system stimulants, to make him stronger, faster, more viscious, and more lethal than any ordinary man could be. And along side, Cain's merciless heart and ruthless nature are made even more evil. When Cain escapes from the facility that created him, we learn that a mutated strain of the Marburg virus that has been used to make Cain's ability to regenerate lost and damaged tissue unlimited has caused his DNA to be so heavily damaged that he needs to drink fresh human blood to keep his metabolism balanced. And to make matters even worse, with the mutant strain of the virus, Cain is the carrier of a viral plauge that will wipe out the entire world's population within a year. Only ten days remain until Cain's body mutates the virus beyond control and the outbreak will occur. The only thing that can kill Cain is the original Marburg virus strain. As a group of poeple who have found themselves trapped in the toils and hardships of life struggle to save the world from Cain, they fight against their own differences, their faith in God and religion, their moral principles, for their very lives and for the life of a little girl with whom Cain shares a dark secret.Dr. Martha Milton, though she prefers to be called Maggie, is the beautiful scientist that created Cain. Early in the story we learn that she used the blood from her own six year old daughter, Amy, to rewrite Cain's DNA. This makes Maggie's struggle to stop Cain a purely heart-touching display of motherly love, for Cain needs every drop of Amy's blood in order to stop his body from mutating beyond control. The irony is thick, but that only adds to the suspense and action of the story, as well as the emotion. And along side with Maggie is Colonel James L. Soleman, a soldier who lost his wife and daughter to terrorists. Soleman is not the luckiest of people, for he nearly died while trying to avenge his family's death and in the process, he crossed so many lines of the military law that he ended up leaving the military. LIke Maggie, Soleman is haunted by his past, of what happened, what he lost, and of what may lie ahead. These shared characteristics bring Soleman and Maggie close together as they try to stop Cain and save Amy. As Soleman works with Maggie and a group of others, including a priest

The best novel I have read so far!

Most everyone else here basically out lined the story so there is no point in repeating myself here! I just wanted to comment because this book was excellent, and I think everyone who likes reading novels should read this book! It was incredible! It had amazing action and the characters in there all seemed so real. It was very, very good! Definitely the best book I had read so far! I am reading though another book called the Hunter again written by Huggins and it does have the makings of being better than Cain! I don't know I might like that better when I finish it, but I would definitely recommend reading all of his books!

ACTION GALORE

THIS IS THE TYPE OF BOOK DEAN KOONTZ USED TO WRITE BEFORE HE DECIDED TO WRITE THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL. LOADED WITH ACTION AND GREAT CHARACTERS, MR. HUGGINS HAS BECOME ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS. ALL HIS BOOKS ARE FIVE STAR.

This is an all action "romp". I have read it 3 times.

It is about Cain a super soldier possesed by Satan. If that wasn't bad enough he has been built to be impervious to all modern weapons and must drink human blood to stay alive. Soloman is an ex-soldier who is persuaded to come back to kill Cain. Marcelle, an Exorcist, helps Sol in his battle against Cain. It reads like an action film, right down to bonding between Sol and the scientist who created Cain's daughter. But don't let this put you off, it is an extremly good book which also contains some very interesting detail about exorcisim. READ THIS BOOK!! (I would have given it 10 stars but they would'nt let me.)

THIS BOOK GIVES NEW MEANING TO RAISING CAIN!

This is my 1st book I have read from this author and it was truly one of the best reads out there today. If you like lots of action/adventure mixed in with a type of religious horror, this ones for you! Cain was a very interesting character and seeing how he would be brought down was exciting to say the least. I already purchased two of his other books - HUNTER and RECKONING, and will definately buy all his others. His characters were all interesting and the storyline never is boring or slow - its either fast or HIGH OCTANE! This author deserves to be a bestseller. If his books are made into hollywood movies, look out for it, because if they are made right, there is no doubt they will be blockbuster movies that make millions. This CAIN story has movie written all over it but I don't see who could play the Cain character, this guy would make Shwarzenegger look like a baby! Shwarzenegger would be perfect for the role of Solomon though because the guy was pretty super-human himself, to me Bruce Willis could not pull that off. Cain could be done in pure CGI form, now that would be a 1st and awesome in movie history. But read this book because it has lots of hours of enjoyment in it. I can't wait to read his other books, and I will review them as I finish them. A must read folks!
