A good, not great read, especially in comparison to some of Morrell's other works like First Blood, Scavenger, and Creepers. The plot is rooted somewhat in the real world as it revolves around a set of mysterious lights appearing nightly outside of Rostov, TX. (the real lights are located in Marfa, TX) Morrell draws a connection between the lights and the possibility of a government coverup due to a devastating weapon created at the end of WWII. Morrell provides the minimum in character development as he spends most of his pages talking about the lights and their effect on people. There are a number of stretches of suspended disbelief that readers must deal with in order to continue to buy into the plot. Strange lights appear in the sky above the town of Rostov, Texas. Dan Page’s wife disappears on the way to her mother’s house and is found mesmerized by the lights. When police officer Dan finds her with the help of the local police department the “shoot ‘em up” action starts. As much as I enjoy Mr. Morrell’s books I found this one just a little bit “pat”, like its been done one too many times before by too many others. The book does take interesting little side treks into the history of the town. In his author’s notes Mr. Morrell does always tell us where the idea for the book came from and his books are usually based on some tidbit from the news or from history. For me that does add to the story. He would get my nod for most interesting author’s notes in his books. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Santa Fe police officer Dan Page tracks down his missing wife only to witness a bloodbath in Rostov, a remote town in Texas famous for a massive astronomical observatory, a long-abandoned military base, and unexplained nighttime phenomena that draw onlookers from every corner of the globe. Determined to solve the mystery of the Rostov Lights in order to save his wife, he discovers that the decaying military base may not be abandoned at all, and that the government may have known about the lights for decades--and the unimaginable danger behind them.
