Today is release day (July 15, 2014)!
I didn't mark a single passage in World of Trouble because I was too busy barreling through the book, enjoying the reading and anxious to see how Ben Winters would end the Last Policeman series. The verdict: perfect ending. I honestly don't remember a single series I've ever felt was as completely satisfying as the Last Policeman series. And, World of Trouble is available today!! For those of you who have been eagerly awaiting release day, I suggest a lot of coffee because you'll want to read World of Trouble in one sitting. Plus, coffee is mentioned frequently enough that you might end up with a craving.
In World of Trouble, only 14 days remain until the asteroid hits Earth. Hank Palace could have easily waited out the end with his friends in Massachusetts but he's determined to find his sister, Nico. So, instead, Hank traveled to Ohio, where he's been told the radicals Nico has been hanging out with have converged to wait for the man they believe will save them by shattering the asteroid.
In Ohio, Hank and a traveling companion find two bloody knives, spatters of blood, a body and a clue to where the radicals may have gone into hiding. To find the missing group, though, he must track down a local man who does concrete work.
With the clock ticking down, Hank tries to solve the crime and find his sister. Will he find Nico before it's too late? What will happen when Hank discovers the "body" has a pulse? Can he solve the attempted murder, uncover the mystery of what's become of Nico's friends and stay alive long enough to find out whether or not the world will truly end? Well . . . you'll just have to find out. And, I promise you it's worth buying all three books if you haven't already begun reading this series.
Highly recommended - The Last Policeman series is absolutely hands-down, my all-time favorite series. I don't even like mysteries! But, I adore Hank Palace. I love his "just keep living life while you can" attitude. I love the moments of levity, the action, the author's wit. And, the ending is absolutely everything I hoped for and more. Great series, perfect ending, terrific hero, well worth owning.

Wow. How have I missed these books? They sound great. (And I'm glad to know that the third and last book in the series isn't disappointing.) Guess I know what I'm going to look for at the library next week. Thanks for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you missed this series but it's a good one! I liked the first and third best but after a slow start the 2nd book became tremendously gripping somewhere around the middle. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did! Coming in at the end is perfect. Now you don't have to worry about waiting for anything to be released!
DeleteLove the first one, but I haven't read the last two. I have an ARC of the second and I have the third as well, I just need to read them.
ReplyDeleteWell, hurry up, silly! We need to talk about something other than politics. ;)
