Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This incredibly fast-paced thriller first appeared in the Kindle Store in 2009, under the name "The Palmyra Impact." It was self-published by a totally unknown author, cost just a few dollars, and I thought I'd take a chance and sampled it. Liked that, bought the eBook.
Love it! So intense that, Kindle in hand, I was way beyond the edge of my seat by the middle of the book. I had to pace the house and read. Frankly, it was a huge relief to get to the end to see who survived and who didn't--no promises were made by the author.
Here's my review from June 2009:
A rip-roaring thriller, The Palmyra Impact (now Rogue Wave) tears off to a start with an asteroid's impact in the Pacific Ocean. The shock wave it triggers tests the tsunami warning system to its limits, and equally strains the nerves of the books' characters and its readers as disaster looms for the Hawaiian Islands.
Boyd Morrison's taut prose plummets the reader through a series of disasters, near misses and anguish for the fates of deftly drawn characters, some of whom readers will quickly take under their wings as new friends. As in all disasters, real or fictional, not all loved ones survive.
For sheer readability, thrills, plot complexity and plain old nail-biting fun, Morrison's book earns a place on the top shelf among thrillers of the year.
Now, in 2010: Simon and Schuster, impressed by Morrison's ebook sales for this book and two others, including The Ark, now for sale once more in the Kindle store, is now Morrison's publisher.
I'm re-reading Rogue Wave after over a year. Even though I know how it turns out, I am pacing again. Boyd's prose delivers relentless action.
A must read book for anyone who loves a nail biter of a thriller.I think, based on his three books published--all of which I thoroughly enjoyed--that Boyd will one day reach the uppermost ranks of thriller writers. I think he belongs there right now, but the rest of the world of thriller lovers will just have to catch the wave when then do.
