Series: Jane Hawk #3
After all that had gone on in this book, how could the single word “mommy” be so heartbreaking? How could a long-winded book boil down to one word that tugs at your heartstrings and turns this battle between good and evil into a desperate struggle for a mother to protect her child.
Each book in the Jane Hawk series is a literal step in a staircase. You cannot begin in the middle; you have to start with the first step, the first book, “The Silent Corner”, since each book build off the previous uninterrupted. Literally book two, will begin the day after book one ended without the neat little bow that readers look for.
If the idea of nanotechnology has not scared the begeebers out of you yet, then book three will cement the fear. As Jane Hawk continues her one-woman crusade against the likes of Booth Hendrickson, she begins to take him and the Arcadians down one person at a time, and this time, it is through his brother Simon and the woman who created them.
Dean Koontz throws in a side story of fraternal twins, but their story pales in comparison to the tale of the Washington’s and their loyalty to Travis, Jane’s older than his years son, who has been entrusted to them until Jane finishes what she has started.
This is not a book that you can put down and pick up something else, something lighter, this is a book that needs to be read (possibly with a dictionary next to you) start to finish. To absorb the drama and the wit, the reader has to be fully enmeshed in Jane’s world, a world of cataclysmic reality.
