Nightfall

by Peter B. Hoole

Years ago, they made a discovery - an ancient well that may hold the key to everlasting life. Since the discovery, they have been observing the world up close and from afar. Over time, it has become apparent to them that the world is destroying itself. They decide to begin the next phase of their plan - a plan that threatens the very nature of human kind. Caleb is a US Marine living in Los Angeles with Darcy, his long-time girlfriend. One day, Darcy receives an email from one of her colleagues. Caleb sees something embedded in the attachments - a file that he recognises from one of his missions. Now that his working life and personal life have overlapped, Caleb must rely on all his training and instincts if he is to keep himself and Darcy alive... See you in the next life. Nightfall is the first in a series that examines the nature of the human condition, asking the question - How can you tell black from white, when all that exists are various shades of grey? Nightfall is Peter's debut novel. "Nightfall is an exciting action / adventure that covers the Western United States and regional Australia. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it."

Now this would make a good movie, a real humdinger thriller end of the world chase. Great plot, great characters too, both the good ones and the not-so-good. Usually mistakes in a narrative don’t bother me (no one is perfect!) but I feel this story will be even better if it’s tightened a bit. The story still got me, though, despite errors. One other thing, I feel ‘Nightfall’ as a title should describe what comes next (as in sequel) and this one should focus on the serum (a title that plays on what is the main focus of the end of the world plotters). One question that went unanswered was the origin of said serum; I wish that was explained. Other than that, still a good read. It would make a good movie, without doubt!
