Review of 'Natural Selection (Adaptation, #1.5)' on 'LibraryThing'
A couple of high school students are awaiting a dealyed flight home to San Francisco when dead birds fall from the sky. Before they board, CNN reports a plane crash, and then another. All flights are grounded after flocks of birds have inexplicably downed planes. As they rent a car and begin the drive home, they encounter clogged highways, closed interstates, and jammed phone signals. So a compelling political/SF thriller begins. returnreturnI could have done with more action (especially more public reaction to the crisis) and less romance (though it's good to see a sensitive depiction of attraction between girls), but overall I enjoyed this novel very much and will seek out the sequel. I do rather wish books like this could conclude without "tune in next tiem" though.
