At the opening of that third novel from the trilogy, there are only 6 days left to the 3rd of October when the comet is supposed to hit Earth and destroy life. But even if he did not wonder, he would not have stayed in that safe house in Massachusetts - his sister Nico is missing after all. Hank Palace is still convinced that the world is going to end but his sister is missing and all those documents and the helicopter makes him wonder if something is not actually different. Winters has in store for us next! Read more I can't wait to see what compelling new worlds and characters Ben H. It nicely wraps up a solid series from a promising author. We have already seen what society's come to, so the setting does not carry as much intrigue.Įven so, as a conclusion the novel works, provides satisfying answers to the series' big questions. World of Trouble does suffer somewhat from the fact that the world has already been pretty well established in the first two books. But with a steady hand, Winters keeps it a crime novel from start to finish. I half-expected this book to jump the shark and move into a crazy Independence Day direction (big Willy style). Meanwhile, this book's case is the most personal yet for Palace and tests his usual emotionless crime solving method.
Winters writes in a very easy-to-consume way and wisely uses the threat of the asteroid as a hook (Will it really land? Will everyone really die?). Other people wouldn't bother, but this detective just has to know the truth before it's too late! He insists on solving mysteries even though an asteroid is rushing to Earth.
