Why read: Picked up a copy at BEA What impressed me: That I continued reading this after the first five pages. What disappointed me: The Extinction Event was a jumbled mess of ideas that seemed geared only towards appealing to the masses. Drugs and sex and how about we throw in some transvestite strippers? Not scandalous enough? Perhaps bloody violence will get this book noticed. If all else fails, make the characters rudely obnoxious in the a perceived effort to be considered gritty. There may have been a point to this debacle, but damned if I could find it. Recommended: Absolutely not. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
After Jack Slidell's discovery of his law partner's death in an apparent drug/sex killing, he and the beautiful Caroline Wonder are suddenly hurled into a race for their lives, a hair-raising odyssey filled with outrageous characters and violent suspense. Hit men and sinister government agencies hunt them at every turn, but their quest for justice determines more than the guilt or innocence of a dead friend: the fate of the earth and humanity's survival hang in the balance. A page-burning, pulse-pounding chase-thriller of earth-shattering dimensions,The Extinction Event is also populated with colorful characters almost Dickensian in their energy and flamboyance. This is a book that will stick with you when you are done, a story you will remember for a long, long time. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The main characters, Jack and Caroline, kind of flail around for about the first 348 pages trying to figure out why people around them are getting killed and why someone keeps trying to kill them. Then someone comes along and explains to them what's really going on and the book ends.
