Good Scary Science Fiction Read

This book describes a fascinating premise of how the world could be brought to it's knees by a small incident by terrorist thieves. I found it a real page turner with graphic descriptions of people living in chaos. Really makes you think about all we table for granted every day. Enjoyed the Trip Matthew. Thanks!

It's a great science fiction read.  It was a little hard to get into initially because of the flashbacks (I wasn't sure if they were flashbacks.  The first few chapters were a tad bit confusing which is why I rate it 4 as opposed to 5 stars.  However, I really did get sucked in.  The story line is intriguing and the characters J.M. Erickson paints in the book are easily visualized by the reader.  It reminded me of World War Z... but better actually.  I found myself on the edge of my seat the more I got into the book.  I recommend this book.

This quick tale was a great mixture of sci-fi and horror. The characters were well-developed and there were a lot of twists and turns.

I liked the other book I read by William Massa (Fear the Light) but I liked this one even more.

I will definitely be reading more of his books.

I really like how the author went back and forth between the story line and some bits of science fiction at the beginning of each chapter. The plot had some twists and surprises that kept me on my toes wondering where the characters would end up next. Great read!

This book is good science fiction.  The idea of telekinesis is used intelligently and in intriguing ways.  But the real story is about family dynamics and the power that comes when your love of your family and friends are threatened.  I enjoyed this and am ready for the next one.

I enjoyed the story because I enjoy science fiction. The story kept my interest. I had some problems with editing which caused me confusion. I am friends with one of the editors and made her aware of some of the difficulties that I encountered.  I am very interested in the rest of the series and am excited to read it.  The language is strong, but I have no real problem, because that's the way people talk. I hope that Faris and Carline can get rid of the Invaders I'm looking forward to the next book.

Enjoyed the read .  It's scary to thing  civilization  is so fragile. Boyd craven writes a good distopian novel. Hope this never happens.

I love good science fiction; however I don't like being "weirded out" by a science fiction book.  I like being able to relate on some level to the characters, the plot, the environment, etc.  This book delivered on all fronts.  It was definitely interest grabbing  from the first page and a very easy read.  The characters were well developed and the landscape of the book was intriguing, but easy to relate to. The book is well written; the reader slips into the world of the wraiths easily.  My only complaint is that it ended too soon.  I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

A very good science fiction story. Well written with good characterization and a good feel for what makes science fiction heart beat. Truly lovely that it is free, so readers can get a feel for who this author is.

I've read a lot of science fiction from well-known authors that I didn't enjoy as much as Howey's stories. He weaves his suspenseful plotting around a well-drawn and interesting world filled with interesting characters. I don't want to go into much detail for fear of spoilers, but I will probably find more of Howey's work soon. Recommended.

Average science fiction stories depend on exotic settings and strange life forms to grab and hold your attention. Good ones use these things to enhance a story or character that you would want to read about no matter where he was or who he met. This is a good one. My only criticism is the grammatical and spelling errors. There were actually a couple of times I wondered if English was the author's second language. With that said I enjoyed the story because I felt like I really knew and understood the main character. I look forward to reading more from this author and would be happy to proofread for free.

Crichton did a very good job in drawing drama out of science.  Some readers may have a problem with the depth of characters other than Jack Forman, but for me and most other geeks and nerds, the plot plus accurate science is the priority.  I've been reading about genetic algorithms, complex adaptive systems, predator-prey processes and emergence phenomena for years and this book brings those ideas together in a great science fiction suspense-horror story, complete with monsters, slime and grotesque dead bodies.
I see a problem with the death scene of the infected characters.  Given that the E. coli simply give feedstock molecules to manufacture of future nanostructures, if all the E. coli in a swarm die, the swarm wouldn't die instantly.  So, the people infected with virus wouldn't die immediately.  This is about the only glaring mistake that I could find, given my limited knowledge.  However, I may be missing some other clue.

I read a great deal of science fiction, i.e., dragons, wizards etc.  I took a chance on this non-medieval book & wasn't disappointed. The writer really puts the reader right in the middle of Joe's world (and mind). It would make a cool movie!

Fast paced, possible and frightening.  This could turn out to be a great series.  While it is more thriller than sci-fi, I think it is well worth the time to read.

Better than the title sounds. A lot of horror and fast paced action once it gets started, and a touch of sci-fi tossed in.

If you really thought the premise through this was a horror story, but, didn't terrify and I don't think was meant to.

I wish there was a 4.5 star as so many books that I read are good, well written with interesting stories but I can not give a 5 as they are not incredible YOU MUST READ but still, interesting, a good/great story line and I thoroughly enjoyed.

So if you like science fiction, a variation on the usual apocalyptic story lines, hopefully you will enjoy it. Suitable for Teenagers to 77 year olds (LOL).
