Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Robert Grim (2) Prijzen
On a foggy winter morning two children discover the impossible: the wreck of an eighteenth-century ship stranded in a field. One enters the hatch on the deck and is never seen again. And she isn't the last to disappear. Soon a government agency begins to investigate, determined to uncover the ship's secrets before a media storm erupts. They enlist Robert Grim, a retired specialist of the occult, to unravel the mystery, who soon realises the ship could be a harbinger of an ancient doom awakened under the sea. In a maelstrom of international intrigue and pure terror, Grim must race against time as he comes face to face with an open doorway to the apocalypse. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I have an interesting time with this author. I absolutely adored HEX, but ECHO was only a "didn't mind" book. This one was somewhere in the middle.
The first part is actually really good. Heuvelt does a fantastic job of upping the creep factor with the ship. In fact, I'll so far as to say any scene involving the ship was amazing. Loved it.
The problem was, there was an awful lot that kept pulling the focus off the ship.
But, the ship was an absolute plus. The second great thing was the return of Robert Grim from HEX. Great character and, again, he elevated the proceedings.
I guess what didn't stick with me as much was all the subplots about various gov't agencies and shadowy foreign players. Interesting, but they paled in comparison to the main plot.
I quite like Heuvelt's writing, but I find that, while he has fantastic ideas, he can cloud them with too much other filler.
Still a good book, still absolutely worth the read. But HEX comes first, and it's the better read. (
