Two roads lead to Mount Hope. None leads out. There's no place to run in a community that's been taken--and is being intentionally kept--off the grid. A small southern town was evacuated after a freak power-plant accident. As the first anniversary of the mishap approaches, some residents are allowed to return past the national guard roadblocks. Mount Hope natives Maggie and Jordan quickly discover that their hometown is not as it was before. Downed cellular networks fail to resume service. Animals savagely attack humans. And the damaged power plant, where Jordan's father is an engineer, is under military lockdown. As friends and family morph into terrifying strangers, the Maggie and Jordan increasingly turn to each other. Their determination to discover who--or what--has taken control of Mount Hope soon has them in the cross-hairs of a presence more sinister than any they could have imagined.-- Publisher's description.

A warning: "The Warning" is simply awful submitted by GJBarnett2 on August 17, 2019, 12:10pm I have been reading Patterson since long before he became more of a factory manager than an author, now having allowed the use of his name (not to say authored) on 19 books in the AADL collection published so far this year, alone, and it's only mid-August. Most people don't read books as fast as he "writes" them. The extent of his actual participation, other than allowing the use of his name, is obscure and while many are of at least good quality, this one is definitely "a swing and a miss." Although cataloged as adult fiction, this is really juvenile horror and would be of, at best, little interest to anyone out of high school and with an over-developed ability to suspend his disbelief.
