Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.com

Taking a break from his phenomenally successful Alex Cross series, James Patterson's When the Wind Blows is as much child's fantasy as it is an adult nightmare. The novel moves away from the gritty Washington, D.C., setting of the Cross books and follows the daily life of Frannie O'Neill, a Colorado veterinarian. After the mysterious death of her husband several years before, Frannie retreated to an isolated life in her Colorado practice. But a series of bizarre events suddenly disrupts her lonely routine. On a personal level, she is shaken by her new tenant--Kit Harrison. Kit's too handsome and too friendly and he's a hunter (or so Frannie thinks). He's also recovering from a devastating personal tragedy, and, as Frannie eventually learns, he's really an FBI agent using his vacation to follow a crucial lead. But Kit isn't the one that's got Frannie concerned. As she says after stopping her Suburban one night to check out something on the side of the road: "What I saw was way beyond my abilities to imagine, beyond my comprehension, my system of belief, and maybe beyond my ability to communicate right now. The little girl's arms were folded back in a peculiar way, but when she lifted them--feathers fanned out." The girl is Max, and the mystery of her wings leads Frannie and Kit into a massive conspiracy involving secret genetic research and the scientific manipulation of the human species.

Patterson, a former advertising executive who coined such catchy phrases as "Nupe it!," knows how to entertain. His chapters are always short (some only two pages), and his writing is clear and unobtrusive; the reading experience is brisk--akin to watching a summer blockbuster. The book is not as dark or as weighty as the tales of detective-psychologist Alex Cross, but while some fans may be disappointed by Patterson's migration from pure suspense fiction, his first-person narrator Frannie, has a quirky realism that keeps this flight of fancy mostly on stable ground. --Patrick O'Kelley -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .

Still mourning her dead husband, veterinarian Frannie O'Neill makes an awful discovery near her hospital. What's more, an FBI agent is tapping at her door.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
'When The Wind Blows' has the strongest in-depth female characters written by anyone in years. Brilliant, touching, interesting, stunning, exciting, suspenseful, inventive, and thrilling are words that come to mind. I really couldn't put this one down, so luckily when I finished it at 4 AM Saturday morning, I didn't have to get up and go to work. My wife has since devoured it. I think some of the reviewers are children who don't like female lead characters or those who expected another slashing, raping, heavy breathing serial killer. All seven members of our writer's club who reviewed this book loved it. Only complaint was we wanted more. The scientific slant dealing with genetics and cloning and the dark government's interest remind me of my all time favorites: Crichton's 'Sphere', Koontz's 'Dark Rivers of the Heart', King's new 'Bag of Bones', Steiger's new 'Alien Rapture', and Preston's new 'Cobra Event'. The character Kit Harrison, an FBI agent, was also quite well done but my favorite was Max. This is unlike previous Patterson works and I commend him for the effort at something new. This is a suspenseful thriller that never lets up and you will relish each and every page. YES BUY IT!

This is a fairly tepid audio book that has new life breathed into it by the spirited narration of Kimberly Schraf. The plot revolves around secret, government sanctioned experiments on humans, dealing with some of the ethical themes of today: cloning, genetic engineering of humans, and cross species hybrids.

The plot is simple. Two of the test subjects have escaped the confines of the closely guarded, secret laboratory. Matt and Max, a brother and sister team who can fly, are on the loose and being hunted down. Yet, they need only spread their wings, and, as did Icarus, Max and Matt can soar high up into the wild blue yonder. The only problem is that hunters must bring them back to the secret lab, before anyone sees them. To further complicate things, Matt and Max do not wish to be caught, because they know that bad things happen in the lab and that people, who are deemed dispensable and no longer necessary, are "put to sleep" and never seen again.

In the outside world, the children separate. Eleven year old Max has the good fortune to run into Frannie O'Neill, a compassionate veterinarian who immediately realizes that there is something extraordinary about Max, beyond the fact that she has real, honest-to-goodness wings and can fly. Frannie is aware that Max is more than the sum of her parts. Together with the help of an FBI agent who calls himself Kit Harrison, they will do everything they can to help Max evade her pursuers, only to become earmarked for death themselves.

easy to read but logical jumps
This was my first James Patterson - and it won't be the last. Im not very much into genetics or biology so I can't judge about the grade of reality the author has kept to. Lesen Sie weiter...

Do I have to finish it?
Yes, this is a quick read, that is if you can manage to get pass the urge not to finish it. "Wind" was pretty good until I got half-way through. Lesen Sie weiter...

Stick to the Alex Cross series - please don't miss them because of this horror.
