The Year of the Locust by Terry Hayes



I was being punked by reading this book. It's more than just a spy thriller. My thoughts about this brilliantly written was the finest depictions of an epic journey. The book is narrated by a Denied Access Area spy under the codename Kane. He made numerous attempts to find the most dangerous terrorist, Roman Kazinsky. He was a military commander of a terrorist group called the Army of the Pure. He tracked him from Afghanistan to Russia until he ended up at Baikonur Cosmodrome. The mission was a bust and disaster. Kazinsky gone.

As a decent reader, this part gives one real-life insight into the world of espionage with all its twist. Ironically, after 500 pages miracle happened!

Cosmodrome had led the way into space and started to mine asteroids. Obviously the spore came from off-earth. All had collapsed and burnt out. Earth is in the middle of a war zone. In the same period, Kane had survived in a sunken submarine. To work in hybrid genres is an outrageous plan. But TH has made it. Yes, I love the outcome! 4.5 ⭐️
