A terrible smell is wafting through Greenloop and Kate always feels as if she’s being watched. Rainier destroyed their land but then those animals disappear or are found horribly killed and mutilated.
At first, animals begin to flood their grounds as Mt. As Kate, Dan and their strange neighbor, Mostar, plan on how to make it through the winter, it would seem that the volcano and oncoming winter is the least of their problems. The drone deliveries to Greenloop have stopped due to resources going to emergencies and no one really knows that the village is in any trouble.
Rainier puts a wrench in all of her plans when the road to civilization is cut off by mudslides that dry like concrete. What she doesn’t count on is a volcanic eruption. She hopes this temporary move into her brother’s home while he’s away will help her to work through her fears and anxieties. It offers the best of both worlds: all the technology of the 21st century and a way to get away from it all. Greenloop is a community of six families who want to reconnect with nature while living in tech-filled homes. How could an author that makes such intelligent novels with such intricate details make a story about Bigfoot that didn’t sound hokey? DEVOLUTION follows the journals of Kate Holland, a woman struggling with severe anxiety that moves with her husband, Dan, to an experimental and almost completely self-sufficient community in the deep Northwestern woods. I was simultaneously excited and hesitant about the subject of the novel: Bigfoot. I had no idea what to expect but DEVOLUTION was about to take me on a wild and bloody ride. When I saw that Max Brooks was set to release another book this year, I was elated and immediately pre-ordered. While the film adaptation didn’t do the book any justice, it remains one of my favorite books/audiobooks that I have ever experienced. When his second book, World War Z, was released a few years later, I was immediately a fan.
Knowing that Max was the son of one of my favorite directors of all time, Mel Brooks, it made me want to read his first book, The Zombie Survival Guide, all the more. By that time, I was already a massive fan of the zombie genre in all forms of media and I ingested books like they were oxygen. I was in high school when I found author Max Brooks.
