The
New York Times bestselling author returns to science fiction with an eerie, transcendent novel of the near future.
Errol's father has been dead for several years. Yet lately Errol has been awakened in the middle of the night by a caller claiming to be his father. Is it a prank, or a message from the grave? When he hears the unmistakable sound of a handset being put down on a table, he decides to investigate.
Curious and not a little unnerved, Errol sneaks into the graveyard where his father is buried. What he finds there changes his life forever. Caught up in a war between a secret government security agency and an alien presence infecting our world, touched by the Wave, he knows that nothing will ever be the same again.
Review
"Mosley's third foray into sci-fi is as provocative and deeply felt as ever, right down to the enigmatic ending." Kirkus Reviews
Review
"The (mercifully undetailed) sex seems gratuitous, the wave business feels mushy, Errol's captivity and escape are like scenes from a dull-witted fifties 'sci-fi' flick, and the characters aren't even strong cardboard. For Mosley completists only." Booklist
Review
"Mosley takes a bizarre left turn into a place occupied by alien infestations, government conspiracies, and, believe it or not, anime-style tentacle rape. It's intriguing for a gifted writer to dip his pen in a different genre; if only this wasn't the outcome. (Grade: C-)" Entertainment Weekly
Review
"The sf aspect of this novel is less well developed than the contemporary setting and the frightening and illuminating situations into which Porter is thrown. However, the taut story will hold readers' interest and is recommended." Library Journal
Review
"[A] short, sexy, action-packed story with hardly a wasted word....The action in the latter half of the book moves so fast it blurs, the settings and characters are thinly sketched, and the result is that these pages seem more like an outline or a film treatment than an actual novel." Los Angeles Times
Synopsis
In the vein of "Blue Light, New York Times" bestselling author Mosley delivers a fantastic vision of the near future. "Mosley proves that good writing is good writing, regardless of genre."--"USA Today."
