A number of important Saudi wells have stopped producing and Erin is the world’s foremost expert in resolving just these kinds of complications. As far as he’s concerned, though, he’s left that world behind. Not his problem. Homeland Security sees things differently. Erin quickly finds himself stuck in the Saudi desert, studying a new bacteria with a voracious appetite for oil and an uncanny talent for destroying drilling equipment. But worst of all is its ability to spread. It soon becomes clear that if this contagion isn’t stopped, it will infiltrate the world’s petroleum reserves, cutting the industrial world off from the energy that provides the heat, food, and transportation necessary for survival. Erin realizes that there’s something eerily familiar about this bacteria. And that it couldn’t possibly have evolved on its own. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Another Good Read by Kyle MillsA good book involving an enviromentalist wacko and unintented consequences. Well thought out and put together. A constantly moving plot will keep you entertained and provide you with thought-provoking scenarios should anything like this ever happen. Rating:  - Running on empty....To me, the scariest stories are not the typical horror stories involving ghosts, vampires or serial killers. Far more frightening are the tales that could actually happen: tales of environmental or military disaster.

Darkness Falls features the return of series character Mark Beamon after a couple standalone books. Beamon is a former bend-or-break-the-rules FBI agent who is now ...

Studying the bacteria infecting the world's oils supply leads Erin Neal to a place from which he has been trying to escape for the past two years. When he finally comes to grips with who is responsible for the potential this virus has to create chaos in the world's petroleum driven economies, his research folds back on the dead woman ... Read More Rating: - Superb thrillerEnvironmentalist Erin Neal seems to have done the impossible; his latest book left him with irate enemies from both extremes of the environmental vs. economy issue. However, how angry becomes apparent when someone kills his former lover eco-terrorist Jenna Kalin; Erin assumes his book was partially the cause so he becomes a hermit wanting nothing to do with the world at lodge. Mark Beamon heads the Homeland Security Department energy security section. He and his team know first hand of ... Read More Rating:  - what's the fuss all aboutMaybe the fact that I'm paying over $4 gallon for gas influenced my reading of the book. Maybe it was the over the top environments message. Maybe it was the flat characters. I don't know, but the book just rubbed me the wrong way. It felt like having Ralph Nader, Al Gore, PETA and Green Peace all whispering in my ear that the world was coming to end, save the environment for humanity. Trying to hide such a political message in the story was annoying and over the top. As for the characters, ... Read More
