This is really fun. Needed something fun after the tragic ending of the plot last book I read.

I'm reading this bc I wanted to give the author another try and the book was on sale for a dollar. I had no idea that it would be a spooky story. So apparently I selected a perfect Halloween book by random coincidence.

He finished the job and could have left town. But no. He had to have an interview with missing (and potentially zombie) poet who is tied to a crazy cult. Why? I know he's a journalist and all. But when things get real spooky and there are dozens red flags swinging all around u, survival should be more important than a big story

I love how this is dry grounded horror. All of it feels so believable despite the craziness of it all. Finally I can see why people this author so much. I just happen to read a couple duds the first time I read his work. But here. This is great! Loving this story.

Krishna is gonna be so much trouble. That wormy little weird creep is going to get this family killed, and Robert keeps humoring him. Why? This guy couldn't be anymore suspicious.

I wish Robert would stop calling his wife kiddo. Bc a) they are the same age and b) its really freaking weird. He should be calling his daughter kiddo, not his wife. I really don't like it.

Well cults appear to be universally terrible no matter what country ur in. Good to know.

Looked like Robert was going to get I to some real trouble but for the last 40 pages he has been sitting around drivingtea while a translatedpr tells him stories about a strange cult. Its not bad by any means, but it was a left turn I was not exoecting.

Krishna is trouble. He's just this little creep who does everything but carry a sign that says ,"Don't Trust Me" Bobby should just do push his job and go home. But no. He's going to trust this little creep to get a better story, and I just know its going to lead to some bad crap.

Wow! Was 1970s India really this awful? This author seems to like to be historically accurate as with past books I read. But this place feels almost apocalyptic. Society is barely there at all. If there is an ounce of truth here, what a sad time for that country & what a terrible place foreigners to visit.

An American couple travel to a bad part of a country they never been to assuming everything's going to go just fine. This never turns out well.

Well as far as books go, that I have read anyways, Camden wins the award for jerk of the yr.

With this hole in the wall story. After all the buildup with the creepiness I was expecting a real big pay off. Something spooky and surreal. But it had a very generic climax instead. Kinda disappointing.

Man finds a weird spooky possibly Inter dimensional hole n his bathroom wall and just puts it off to later? Also just heads up to work without alerting his family of the spookiness so they can just possibly die. Why?!?! who does this!? Board up the darn hole! And when ur done hire a priest or something from extra protection.

Finally get to meet this multibillionare villain and..... He's basically Elon Musk. Bc of course he is. Why did I even think the author would do anything different? Elon seems to be a pretty popular punching bag nowadays. Should have saw this coming.

Well, Filio this is what happens when u betray yr friends. U could have been honest with them and they would have had ur back. But no. U had to be paranoid and leave them stranded as u used ur find to black mail ur other friends. Now ur alone and screwed. U kinda set urself up for this one. I can't feel sorry for u when u keep burning all ur bridges.

I know Agatha is supposed to apparently be the the strong tough lady dirty harry like cop here. But boy, is she a real stick in the mud. I'm all for Pano though. Sure he's has some awful pick up, and tries a little to hard to get women to fall for him, but at least he's fun. He may be a himbo, but I would hang out with him any day b4 Agatha.

Kinda really love the mysteries of this whole book. It just keeps introducing them with the world building.

Wow. Agatha's kinda of crazy. She threatened to cut off the oxygen of a sick old man during questioning. Not sure I like her anymore. But so Pano's cool. At least one half the two major leads is extremely likable.

Fillio is recovering from some sort of trauma, so she sails the seas for two yrs looking for a ship, betrays all friends, and blackmail a her former employers so she can be sent into space. This seems like a lot of work. Has she tried a therapist? Bc I think it might be a better coping mechanism than destroying the lives of others

The one company that is saving the world also controls everything and is corrupt. Of course it is. All companies are inherently evil in sci-fi it seems.

Creationist terror groups attacking scientists. This is something I've been seeing a lot of in sci-fi lately. I wonder why. Seems kinda random.

I like how the name of this ship for this rag tag crew of scrapers is called The Ocean's Bitch. Seems so fitting for such a colorful bnch.

The leading FBI agents are spot on Mulder and Scully and this story involves conspiracy theories and aliens too. Someone was a big X Files fan.
