10-23-07 Darkness Falls by Kyle Mills - Fiction
4 - Kyle Mills consistently writes great techno thrillers that always pull topics from current day news. "Darkness Falls" focuses on the potential oil crunch and the environmental movement. A quick moving, pick up and go story begins with an eco-terroristic action to stop oil drilling in Alaska. From there, an oil crisis of global proportion forces a self-retired bacterial genius out of seclusion to aid the US government in stopping the catastrophic domino effect of the loss of 30% or more of the world's oil production. Great characters and an easily read, fast paced story make this book another winner from Mills.

I have to disagree on this one. The protagonist, the self retired genius, is the most egotistical, self centered, immature individual you could imagine. It makes it impossible to feel any sympathy for him or the other characters who are shallow and one-dimensional. I usually like Kyle Mills and was really looking forward to this one but was hugely disappointed.
