My Goodreads and Amazon review of Tick … Tick … Tick … by Steve Zettler (Rated 5) – Clever Countdown. Tick … Tick … Tick … by Steve Zettler is a masterful montage of literary genres and contemporary themes: a spy novel with aliens, a dire environmental warning, a satire of governmental (in)competence, and a mystery with white hats lurking in noir shadows. Zettler addresses a serious problem — global warming — in a highly entertaining way that includes an over-the-top narrative, wild imaginative leaps, belly laughs, and even puckered lips. As a novelist myself (see my Amazon author page and Goodreads author page), I admire Zettler’s ability to juggle so many elements in this meticulously plotted thriller. Suspense mounts as readers worry whether U.S. agents will turn around the world’s wasteful ways before the clock ticks down to the aliens’ final plan to destroy the “disease” that is planet Earth. Sit back, or perch on the edge of your seat, as you read Tick … Tick … Tick … to discover our fate. It’s a boom of a book!
A giddy romp through global warming
Why writers read: A book can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe.” – Madeleine L’Engle
