Review of The Pandora Particle
Posted: 05 Jul 2025, 09:35
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Pandora Particle" by Robert F. Orlando.]
The Pandora Particle by Robert F. Orlando is an exciting book with non-stop action. It begins with Dr. Mark Stanton stealing the program he developed from the Fermi Lab to stop the government from using it for nefarious purposes. He is subsequently killed in a car accident while escaping the facility.
NSA investigators Diane Vitullo and Roger Edwards are assigned to find the missing researcher. Diane is the daughter of FBI agents who were killed in a mugging when she was 17. She had been raised by her parents' best friend, the Deputy Director of the CIA, after her parents' deaths. Pamela Ward is the fiancée of Dr. Mark Stanton. She awakens to find an email from Mark telling her that she is in danger and needs to follow his instructions to protect herself and possibly save the world. The story follows Pamela from Chicago to Washington, DC, as she is pursued by the NSA investigators, as well as the assassins trying to get their hands on the program.
This story is very engaging with mystery, science fiction, fear, action, drama, betrayal, and romance. The characters are well-developed and believable. The mystery surrounding the research program is central to the story, but the description does not go into too many confusing details. I loved how the story quickly changed from scene to scene, detailing the different plots of each character. There is violence in the story, which can limit some readers, but the context of the story requires that. I was thrilled that by the end of the tale, several characters had found a love interest.
I am rating The Pandora Particle a 5 out of 5 stars. The non-stop action pulls the reader in and makes the story hard to put down. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good action mystery.
