Until the arrival.
When the ground starts to shake beneath their feet...
When the noises crash through the skies above their heads...
When the giant UFOs appear and send down their beams, their terrible beams...
Camberway is rocked to its very foundations, as a series of bizarre events changes all of their lives, forever.
What will become of Camberway, and the people who call it home?
Will anyone survive? Why are the giant UFOs here? what do they want?
I have started reading more novels of the supernatural/ sci-fi type and I am loving them, I think this one was the best so far just because of the whole plot and the characters in the story. It is a real page turner that you so quickly become hooked on because there is so much going on. This book is packed with so much action and suspense with every different character, yet the clever thing is it is all pretty much the same thing happening to them.
Although this book is quite short it gets straight into the story straight away and although we meet so many different characters you never feel overloaded with information. It feels like this book is a perfect length to be able to introduce you to the story and the characters ready to continue in the sequel. I don’t want to say too much but there is a great ending to this book that you just have to read!
I loved the way all of the characters in the book were or would end up connected in some way, this made the story so interesting because once you realised a few of the characters were connected, you start to think a lot more of them will be and start to wonder how.
Not many of the characters are actually likable, there are a few good characteristics in Jim, Barrett and a few others but they all seem to have something unlikable about them. I think this is a genius thing for David to do because you are searching for good things about each character throughout the whole book, which makes you want to carry on reading even more, you also want to see if they will change. The only character I actually felt a connection with was Mirlo, I started off feeling sorry for her then eventually started to love her.
David’s writing is brilliant, it has the power to get you interested straight away and the way he puts life into each of the characters is so good you could imagine them standing in front of you. He gets you hooked on the story so quickly.
It is such a short book that I flew through in 2 days, so if you are looking for a fast paced, intriguing, addictive read I would definitely pick this up. After reading this book I am very much looking forward to reading the next two books in the series!
