DEVOLUTION written by Max Brooks is one novel that is powerful. The amount of research one has to do to bring a story alive and make it seem so real to the point that you are shaken after reading certain parts is an amazing writer! I love that Brooks was able to make me feel so involved with the story that my actual facial expressions went from scare to horror to tears and then finally to shock! This is science fiction suspense like I have never read before!!!
In Brook’s latest novel, he combines the story with characters with life-like interviews and a journal left behind from one person in a small community that was left deserted. The story goes from the interviews to the daily logs from Kate Hollands at what happened from the short time she arrived in this community called Greenloop. This place with small houses that are powered by solar is a place that you live pretty much off the land with nature except for a few deliveries that one has to have from the city. It is a small place with about 8 to 9 people living their small neighborhood safe and happy right?
The Mt. Rainier erupts destroying their way back to any roads to town leaving them stranded. However, they come together to find a way to survive. Then they notice that the wildlife is disappearing after a while. And what comes next, is everyone’s worst nightmare. Kate's story is told from her journals left behind. But what happened to her. The clues and her writing claim the sighting of a group Bigfoots. Or could there be something else? Not everyone believes and feel it must be something else.
Film Streaming DEVOLUTION stuck with me for days after reading. The descriptions Max Brooks gives in this power suspense are so clear and precise that you sometimes forget it is just a story. I made the mistake of reading some of it at night which left me jumpy and frighten to turn off the light. If you love stories that you can get lost in like that then you will love DEVOLUTION!
