THE AMAZING NEW THRILLER FROM TERRY HAYES. IF YOU THOUGHT I AM PILGRIM WAS GOOD...
Reviews with the most likes.
What a cracker book! The Year of the Locust starts off as a traditional spy novel, with a Denied Access Areas spy, Kane, travelling to Iran to meet a contact who can give the CIA information on a new terrorist cel. This part of the story takes most of the first 3/4 of the book and is a rollicking read. But then it gets weird, with a magical submarine, a time slip and zombie aliens... And then the ending is excellent, deep inside a Russian no go zone. All in all a non stop, intelligent, well planned thriller. 5 stars.
The first two parts of the book were good. The third part was okay. The fourth part turned into a fucking cartoon.
Eight years of waiting for something taken from bloody marvel... incredibly disappointing.
