IMPACT by Douglas
Preston
IMPACT is a combination of political thriller, murder and
science fiction peopled by a former CIA agent, a college dropout, a hitman,
various political/business bosses and a fisherman. Each chapter (they are VERY short) is from a
different character’s point of view. You need to keep track of the various folk
you meet in the first chapters or you won’t be able to keep them straight when
they pop up again.
The science is pretty easy to follow. The battles between
boat and sea, hitman and potential victims are tense and then more tense. The characters are likeable and complex. The plot is interesting and easy to follow
although the parts are intricate and intertwined.
Altogether this is an exciting, engrossing thriller that
satisfies the reader.
4 of 5 stars
