The Wave

By: Walter Mosley

Narrated by: Tim Cain

Errol's father has been dead for several years. Yet lately, Errol has been awakened in the middle of the night by a caller claiming to be his father. Is it a prank or a message from the grave? When he hears the unmistakable sound of a handset being put down on a table, he decides to investigate.

Curious and not a little unnerved, Errol sneaks into the graveyard where his father is buried. What he finds there changes his life forever. Caught up in a war between a secret government security agency and an alien presence infecting our world, touched by "the Wave", he knows that nothing will ever be the same again.

Critic reviews

"Mosley proves that good writing is good writing, regardless of genre." (USA Today)

Interesting Book

I liked this though, I think it was a little too cynical....interesting characters and great plot twists....the main character is complex and I like how the author demonstrates the conflicts he experiences and how he subtley changes throughout the novel...I just don't buy the fact that the antagonists would want to exterminate these creatures who seem to not want to cause any harm to man...it is hard to judge the good guys and bad guys so completely as good and evil when the reality is that neither is ever so one-sided.

The Wave

This was a very mysterious book that kept my attention the whole time.
It's about a sons love for his father that has no boundaries even after death.
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

AWESOME!

As always, for me Walter Mosley has not failed! His stories are always different and twisted...in a good way...to where you cannot foresee the ending but you insist and hope for a happy one. And he hasn't failed me yet! Cross fingers here and knock on wood. Place happy face here!

Great concept

What a great concept. The first half of the book was great, a little creepy, but really captivating. The second half just fell flat. It could have been so much more. It could have easily stepped up to the level of "blood music" or "cell" or "american gods".

Engaging and thought provoking.

An enjoyable and creative story. The narrator was good in bringing the story to life. I would recommend this book
