Mercy Johnson works as a research
assistant for a group of physicists. Noah McKnight is her
co-worker. A plague has hit the east coast killing a large
portion of the people there. It’s spreading and Mercy knows
it’s just a matter of time before it hits Chicago. Noah
calls Mercy and asks if she’d like to get together and
celebrate what they have left. Their passionate date takes
them on a journey when an earthquake hits then the threat of
a volcano erupting leads them out of Chicago to try and find
a safe harbor. On their way, they form a bond and act as a
team to help others, but Mercy senses that something is very
different about her new lover. Noah is on a mission to save
humanity and he needs Mercy’s help to do it. In the process,
he hopes he’s found the one woman made for him.
Earth Storm has a very creative plot, but it
didn’t translate well. It never felt believable and things,
like too many exclamation points, create overzealousness in
the characters. As much as I wanted to like Earth Storm
because of its interesting storyline, I just didn’t. I felt
a lack of depth and emotion from both the characters and the
story itself. Noah and Mercy are passionate lovers right
away. Their sometimes purple pro love play is erotic, but
lacked affection to me. Earthquakes, volcanoes, plagues and
tornados make for an exciting story in Earth Storm,
but it wasn’t enough to hold my interest. |
