Action throughout kept me on the edge of my seat, and it had great character development. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to read the next in the series (hopefully it comes out soon). ( ) Thrillers aren't my usual thing, but the premise intrigued me. I do like the post-apocalyptic type stuff and this was some easy but engaging reading to while away the time while I wait around in hospital. The mystery was good, kept my attention and I found myself reading late into the night over a couple of days. I haven't read the first novel in the series, but now would definitely consider it if I came across it. The only botherations were common to a lot of books of this type - the apocalypse hit, but America's the only place that's important in that regard - the villains were content to ignore the rest of the world. I'm still not too sure what the importance of the driest locations were to the whole plot. I would have liked to learn more about future Arica and what happened there, but we only get the briefest of glimpses. In spite of those niggles, a solid read. Three weeks ago I read the first of the Travis Chase novels (The Breach) and in my review, I said that I would not be continuing with the series. But I lied. I’ve now completed the second book, which is just as silly as the first. I nearly wrote that it had a lower body count compared to the thousands killed in the first book, but then I remembered that Ghost Country actually features the wiping out of the whole of humanity, so I may have been wrong about that. Picture a cross between the Jack Reacher novels and the Back to the Future movies and you have an idea what these books will be like. And I absolutely, positively promise not to read the third and final volume of the trilogy. no reviews | add a review
Fiction.
Thriller.
HTML: "In a word: Brilliant....It left me breathless and awed....Pure exhilaration from the first page to the last." "WOW! Double Wow!...Ghost Country by Patrick Lee will make Asimov and Heinlein cheer with the angels. The techno-thriller meets Sci-Fi, and the result is mind-blowing." Patrick Lee reinvented and revitalized the contemporary thriller with his extraordinary debut The Breach ("Audacious and terrifying" â??Lee Child). Now his conflicted ex-cop/ex-con hero Travis Chase is back in the breathtaking follow-up Ghost Country. Both Michael Crichton and Dean Koontz fans, X-Files aficionados and devotees of FOX TV's Fringe, will be blown away by Lee's Ghost Countryâ??a nightmarish tale of a nefarious plot unleashed at the highest levels of government that will bring about the end of everything in a matter of a few short months No library descriptions found. |
