Wenyu Zhou _iki_hou — It was Brian Aldiss that accused John Wyndham of writing "cosy catastrophes" but there is nothing cosy about the catastrophe depicted here. Some form of alien beings arrive from space and settle in our deepest oceans and, even though they cannot exist in the low pressure environment of the surface and we can't exist in their high pressure environment at the bottom of the oceans, it soon becomes clear that the two cannot cohabit the earth and that one of us must go. I say it becomes clear but as far as humanity is concerned, it takes impossibly long for the penny to drop for all but a few fringe "scare mongerers". In this story, the public seem to be extraordinarily resistant to coming to terms with the true nature of the threat, the full extent of their predicament and the need for urgent action. Not that there seems to be anything that can be done, humanity is on the back foot forced to be strictly reactive to a threat who's precise nature remained a mystery throughout the book. The tone of the book is depressingly doom laden. The governments, helpless in the face of this unknown threat seem capable of doing no more than soothing the worries of their public and putting a brave face on things as the humanity's domain is encroached upon ever further. We follow the story through the eyes of husband and wife journalist team as they observe events usually from a distance, but sometimes at the forefront as they unfold and civilization is gradually brought to its knees and begins to unravel. The emphasis for much of this book is on the media reaction the way public perception shifts accordingly. Personally, I thought the narrative style was somewhat distancing for large parts of the book and it may have benefited from multiple points of view to keep the reader close to the events that were taking place but some of the scenes were very evocative, depicting quite horrific moments when the protagonists happened to be close to the action. Not my favourite Wyndham novel but certainly has a lot going for it nonetheless.

Kristine Charlotté kristinedalgaard — Scot Harvath is back, and everything seems to be going wrong. A brilliant plan for the takedown of a major terrorist player has been put into action, but the devastating result causes him to step back and re-evaluate what he is working toward. Meanwhile, seemingly unrelated events are playing out in Los Angeles. Those events soon prove to be the key to discovering what is compromising everything they are working for. Even worse, a larger terrorist attack has been put into play, and Scot and his team have to figure out how to stop it before it is too late. I have loved Brad Thor's books since I first discovered them several years ago. Starting with Lions of Lucerne, his first, I have read each and every book he has released and attended two of the three local book signings he has given in my area. Unfortunately, I no longer get the same thrill from Thor's books. Thor seems to be searching for stories, as Scot Harvath has done nearly everything possible to save the world from terrorist threats thus far, including spending time in a Russian work camp. This book was less story and more commentary. It was definitely better than The Athena Project - a book even I couldn't finish, die-hard fan that I am - but it didn't grab me and pull me in the way the first books in the series did. I truly like Brad Thor's writing style. I enjoy his stories, his unabashed patriotism, and his portrayal of a flawed hero with so many of the qualities I see and love in the military men I know. Thor has the community down pat, he knows what he is writing about. But this book just wasn't up to the gripping story-telling quality Thor established in the past.
