Customer Reviews
too many unanswered questions and loose ends
Max’s wife is crazy, jealous and violent. A poor combination to face when she catches Max cheating on her and asking her for a divorce. His lover ends up dead and faceless and Max becomes the number one suspect. He must evade the police, faceless zombies, aliens, and worst of all, his homicidal wife.
The action continues unabated throughout the book as Max attempts to unravel the mystery of the faceless people, what happened to his wife and the strange man named Thaddeus who seems to be behind it all. A web of government cover-up and murder further the intrigue surrounding the one person who could explain it all if she chose to.
The Face Stealer is about aliens, secret government agencies and some advance tech thrown in for good measure. The book is one non-stop chase scene that tends to get confusing at times, jumping from locations without warning. Characters are introduced and dropped leaving us sometimes wondering why they were there in the first place.
If you are an alien invasion devotee you may want to give this a listen. It is difficult to recommend it to others, unfortunately. There are just too many unanswered questions and loose ends to give satisfaction to the mystery.
Paul Cram performs the story with his generally pleasant voice. His style may not appeal to every listener, however. He pauses in odd places and occasionally stumbles over a word. Not a deal breaker by any stretch; it is just that the listener is pulled out of the story on occasion by Mr. Cram’s style.
There are some very interesting ideas in The Face Stealer and some genuinely intriguing characters. It is just that the former are not explained well and the latter are discarded unceremoniously leaving the listener unsatisfied. This is just one listener’s opinion, of course. Give it a trial and decide for yourself.
