Dark Harvest (*LARGE PRINT)

Product Information

Various characters annoyed me at times but in ways that fit with the narrative and not counter to who they were or the story. Overall an entertaining read, and not a good fit for this specific reader, I’m sure there are plenty of thrill-seeking readers who will love the book. For fans of World War Z , a chilling mystery, an ancient threat, and a race against time to save humanity--inspired by the true events of the Dyatlov Pass incident Russia, 1959.

This author has a knack for providing character and background information within the narrative without info-dumping, and everything is written in such a way that you just *have* to keep reading, line after line, page after page.There are also a few moments were the logistics and science are just a bit too stretched, I normally wouldn't mind too much but just things like the characters being able to zoom around the world with minimal fuss and there is a very awkward juxtaposition of this book being written before Covid-19, but also being very much based around the idea of a Zombie virus being treated as a disease outbreak.

But this is the second novel of his (the first being "Redemption: Ryan Drake”) that wasn’t exactly a disappointment, but wasn’t memorable, and so I probably won’t want to reread it (which is the criterion I look for when awarding 5 stars). At one point I laughed because there is no way that real humans could endure the series of events and keep going with the kind of single-minded resolve Cameron and Lori show. I don’t know why every man and his brother has to have black hair in books now, but I’m glad this one breaks the mold. If action is your thing (especially, high-stakes apocalyptic-flavored action), you’ll probably love this novel. Later in 1959, a group of nine ambitious mountaineers on an expedition to these treacherous mountains and inhospitable climate are found dead after succumbing to massive and dreadful injuries, that remains unexplained even to this day.In the early days of the Cold War, a group of Russian hikers stumbles into a cave in the Ural Mountains, unknowingly stirring up an ancient virus that has been preserved in the cold. He is best known as the author of the RYAN DRAKE series of action thrillers, and for his YouTube alter-ego, THE CRITICAL DRINKER, amassing well over a million followers and quickly becoming one of the most popular movie critics on the internet. Nine members of a Soviet mountaineering team on an ambitious expedition into the Ural Mountains are found dead, victims of massive and bizarre injuries. I had really been looking forward to reading this book and now that I have, I can say it didn't disappoint!
