Contents |
After getting into trouble, CHERUB's decide its time to get some payback. They load up on weapons and are ready for the fight of their lives. Hong Kong was tough, but the terrorist group the Survivors will prove to be the real challenge. They travel to Australia to help save the world, but most of all, to take down terrorist organisation "Help Earth", who James had already tackled on previous missions. James and Lauren Adams give everything they have and in the end come out victorious
Divine Madness is one of two Cherub stories where part of a scene had been cut out. The scene in question was the segment where Kyle and Bruce were chasing a suspected member of Help Earth. In the original version of the scene, Bruce beats up a passenger who calls him names while boarding the train. In the published book, this is not shown due to excessive violence. The cover is Bruce ignoring the comment.[1]
On the Cherub website there is a bonus story ("Cherub: Disconnected") that is set during Chapter 44 of Divine Madness. It delves into James' past and it includes his father James Duncan.[2]
Divine Madness is followed by Man vs Beast. In this novel, James and Lauren go undercover to infiltrate an Animal Rights terrorist group. Lauren is appalled by some of the cruelty she sees and becomes a Vegetarian and adopts a Puppy.
