Intense, hard to put down
Reviewed: 28-08-2019
Some of the voices have changed from the previous book, requiring re-adjustment and insight into the characters early on as they got re-introduced. But that's nothing compared to the scale and relentless drama, action, thrill and rage-inducing bonanza of this book. I eagerly anticipate the next book.

Jake Bronson's family and friends are mourning him. They'd watched as he sacrificed himself so their lives could return to normal. But normal wasn't to be. The megalomaniac whom Jake had killed during his suicide assault left a legacy of videos that damn Jake and everyone associated with him, leading to a price being put on their heads, dead or alive. As the jaws of a terrorist trap begin to close, Jake's eight-year-old son, Alex, faces a threat of his own.

Beautifully written to engage the reader non-stop (almost)! I enjoy the suspense, the drama, the action, the philosophical arguments around strategic decisions concerning societal preservation and humanity, the ironies, and of course trueness to self and friends and love.

Would you consider the audio edition of Fear the Future to be better than the print version?
Haven't read the print version.
Any additional comments?
I listened to all three books of the Fear Saga (via Audible) within three weeks. I got hooked instantly from the start of Book 1 "Fear The Sky". Stephen Moss' epic tale got me transfixed and addicted to the unfolding saga, as it stretched massively across the two worlds and their inevitable collision. The story is complex--its machinations, size, depth and premise--all told with a seeming ease by the author and his portrayal of the various characters, story lines, events, momentum, intervening conflict on earth and ultimately the cosmic battle. They're really hard to let go of once you start for the story carries with it all the ingredients of a great sci-fi, political-military drama-thriller. The key characters—the good, bad, their strengths and flaws, are well thought-out, with some roles--although quite easy to relate to at the start, not immune to dramatic twists and surprises that can set you off reeling and even question your own ethical stance. I feel (fear) for the impending doom of humanity, even with the ten-year timeline--the hectic pace of building AI-assisted defence systems and weaponry, amidst petty rivalries, real agent enemies, sabotage, political posturing--paling against the scale of the inbound genocidal alien armada. Fascinating. Really love it!

She's even started to feel like she knows the people who live in one of the houses. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. If only Rachel could be that happy. And then she sees something shocking. It's only a minute until the train moves on, but it's enough. Now everything's changed.

I like it. Paula Hawkins slowly unfolds the story, the mystery, the surprise twist and inevitable conclusion--all through first-person narratives and perspective of the main characters. Well written.
