Not my cup of tea! Couldn't get through it and I rarely let go of a book very easily. Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing. I felt like this story had been told before. Full of cliches and entirely predictable. Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing. A 40-something fashion model, an eco-terrorist group and a governmental plot to hide devastating information regarding global warming - all the hallmarks of a good political thriller, right? Well, not really. Nykanen was, perhaps, a bit overly ambitious in his attempts to create a timely, fast-paced thriller. While this book might make a good beach read (or snowed-in weekend read), the elements that create this book do not really hang together. First, who wants to read about an over-the-hill fashion model? [SPOILER ALERT] The premise that models are easy targets for abduction (because their bookers don't really check out every assignment) is interesting. However, the idea that an eco-terrorist group might abduct an older model because she represents the the problems with modern day consumption seemed a bit far fetched. Second, it is a gamble to create an enviromental thriller based on one element - it very much dates the book to 2007-2009. While Nykanen constructed some exciting chase scenes with hide-and-seek between animal rights and eco-terrorist groups and a bounty hunter, basing the great mystery of the story around one governmental report was a risk that didn't pay off. Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing. I received this book through Early Reviewers, and requested it for what sounded like a unique mix of mystery and (several angles of) politics. Normally, I like "unique". Normally, I speed through books I like. NOT THIS TIME. I sped through this knowing these were hours I'd never get back, and my sense of duty (to review this for ER) saw me through. This novel is full of cringe-worthy moments. As others have mentioned, it contains stereotypes beyond belief, which made it impossible for me to believe in the characters, much less root for any of them or have much interest in the very important issues they were bringing to the fore. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Emmy-winning former NBC newsman Mark Nykanen (HUSH, THE BONE PARADE, SEARCH ANGEL) pens a politcally and morally charged suspense about climate change theories. A neo-primitive cult, possessing secret government documents filled with terrifying information about global warming, kidnaps a famous fashion model and holds her hostage, forcing her to act as their spokesperson. As time runs out, her estranged daughter allies with a dangerous activist group to rescue her, while battling dark agendas from the government and Big Oil.

Good premise, reminded me a little of the book Michael Crichton wrote that was sortof a climate-change-based thriller. ( )
