At first, I thought I was reading a Dean Koontz book, but by the end, I knew this was no Koontz book--it had with way too much happiness. Walter Mosley's The Wave kept glued to it so that I finished it in one day. The book has lulls, but they are short. After you've read it, there are things to ponder over. This is not a book I will forget. ( ) Walter Mosley surprised me with his creativity in science fiction. This is a quiet science fiction book, but still laced with Mosley's standard observations on racism and class, a hero who gets his share of sexual escapades and physical abuse, and a satisfying ending. Mosley fans will smile at his weaving current politics into a classic science fiction theme. The book is a brilliant riff on one of the staple plot conceptions of science fiction -- colonization of human beings by an alien "hive" mentality. Mosley's brilliant twist on this familiar idea is to situate this novel firmly in the paranoia and xenophobia of post-9/11 America. Unlike the countless variants on the alien "body snatcher" theme, the hive mind that emerges in this novel is truly human and heroic, especially in contrast to the government intelligence agents who are willing to trample liberty and human rights to "defend" individuality from the alien collective Other. This is a fine n example of a genre that should be called post-9/11 literature. The story begins when Errol, who is having problems with his career as well as his relationships, is contacted by his father who passed away several years earlier. At first, Errol refuses to believe this person is really his father, but later begins to believe he is. something out there greater than mankind. Taken against his will, Errol is shown a secret world of alien beings taking over the bodies of deceased people. Naturally, the US Government wants to exterminate the entire alien population, but Errol isn’t so certain the newly discovered life is the enemy. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
