The book (out August 16) has won the praises of Stephen King, Patterson's perennial frenemy, and has intense echoes of a few M.
While checking rabbit traps, the girls are subjected to a soul-piercing sound that drives one of them insane, flattens their village, and slowly whips up a threat that brings national attention to Portland. The Noise centers on two sisters, Tennant and Sophie, who live in an off-the-grid survivalist village in the eastern shadow of Mt Hood. Barker (Patterson usually draws up story outlines and then works with other writers to execute his books), but it's most of the way there. That's an oversimplification of what the 74-year-old is up to in The Noise, which he co-authored with horror writer J.D. *I received this book from NetGalley for review but all opinions are my own.Image: Stephanie Diani James Patterson's latest thriller imagines Portland, Oregon facing down just about the only disaster we've managed to avoid in the last year: a zombie apocalypse. I was kept guessing until the end, and when I got there – I never saw that coming! This book was disturbing, enthralling, and had me glued to my seat – I devoured it in one sitting. Barker at his side, they took us for a rollercoaster ride, where we were screaming to get off. It was James Pattison at his finest, with J.D. Just what is this noise? How is it spreading? Why is it causing such devastation? Is it an attack by another global super power? Why a noise? Why the destruction?Īs I raced through the pages, keeping pace with the devastation being leveled across the country, I was gripped by this read.
When the anomaly starts to reoccur, at a frequent pace, spreading, rapidly speeding up, everyone quickly has to learn to work together.
But before long, civilians vs military quickly becomes the least of the worries. The scientists are thrown together with the military, and clashes ensue. Suddenly we have an elite team of scientists thrown together to investigate the anomaly of the storm. When two young sisters survive what, at first seems like an odd freak storm, things quickly take a turn.
