July 2020 - How Many?

I was a little skeptical r.e. DEVOLUTION, thinking it sounded a little cheesy w/ the Sasquatch angle, but if it's that good -- and I did really enjoy WORLD WAR Z -- then I'll have to give it a shot. Thanks for the push.

I actually feel this one is less cheesy that World War Z. This uses the journalism approach from World War Z but contains a tighter story. The aspects of life around a live volcano are very interesting as well. I lived about 55 miles from St Helens in 1980 so it strikes a note with me there.

Close to a third of the way into Devolution and it is vastly exceeding my expectations! You were not kidding, this is a great read.

Martin,

Good to hear you enjoyed Devolution and I wasn't leading you astray!

Did the last 2/3 hold up to the first 1/3?

I thought the story got better as it went along.

I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I even appreciate the fact that he did not feel the need to wrap it up in a nice bow at the end.

Agreed.

I liked how he chose to end the story.
