So right now going through a couple more John Saul novels and just now finished up one of them tonight titled "The God Project".
There is something strange that is happening to the children of Eastbury, Massachusetts. A thing that is causing healthy infants to suddenly die in their cribs and striking the very hearts of every parents worst fear. That one by one, something is taking the children.
And now the whole town sits and waits on the brink of the edge of panic for another nightmare to come. There has to be a reason for all of it and they know it. But what will come would be something that they least expected.
"The God Project" is one of his eighties books, and is again another of science gone wrong horror novels. A lot times the running theme in the last few John Saul novels that I've read, so far, have dealt with misguided attempts to improve the lives of humanity by whatever means possible, and which that, way more often than not, can go very wrong at the turn of a hat. And in "The God Project" there's plenty of that going on!
It looks to me that some of his early works are just a bit better. Still ain't perfect though, but still a blast! The next John Saul novel, "Hellfire", is likely to lean in the more supernatural direction, if my guess is correct.
