I hadn't picked up a Walter Mosley book in about a decade, having read trough a few early Easy Rawlin's mysteries (Devil in a Blue Dress, White Butterfly etc...) but moved on. When I found this in a bookstore I couldn't resist seeing how Mr. Mosley would tackle science fiction.
Early on I had a problem digesting his prose style. I thought it was strange and forced, as if he was fighting off his hard boiled schtick, but Mosley's prose is nothing if not propulsive and after a while you let it pull you through the book.
The form on display is the type of science fiction that is more allegorical than science-based, "soft" science fiction like Phil Dick's or Ursula LeGuin. His main character, Errol, finds that his "father" has returned from the grave but as a young man, who claims he has emerged from the "wave." The Department of Homeland Security will have nothing of this and captures Errol suspecting he may be 'infected,' by the wave. You see, while the inhabitants of the wave look like us, they are almost indestructible, having a very different cellular makeup and communicate on a cellular level, making them de facto dangerous to the head of the DHS team - an insane plastic surgeon.
Don't let my description send you running the other way, while it seems like a clunky premise (and sometimes it is), Mosely truly does have a way with words and characters, and while The Wave is a bit thin in every respect, it is an engaging, dramatic and fun read.
The other notable fact is that Mosley is one of the increasingly less rare African American writers currently tackling science fiction, another practitioner, the great Octavia Butler, sadly passed away a couple of years ago.

Walter Mosley is an author who is known for his crime and mystery fiction. I had read a couple of his crime books back in the day and had no idea that he wrote science fiction until I heard about it on a podcast. I think it was Christopher Golden who mentioned his genre work on Three Guys with Beards. I am not sure I got the book he suggested as an example but I saw the The Wave on the shelf at the library so I jumped on it.
The Wave is a strange sci-fi novel, and I went into it totally cold not even reading the dust jacket before starting. I think the mystery is the best part of the novel, and for the first 80 pages I was super into it. The more I learned the less interesting the story was for me. The main character is Errol who is one year into a divorce, while he has a new love he is still fragile. The novel opens when he is getting a mysterious series of phone calls. "It's cold, Naked." He thinks he knows the voice and the mystery deepens when he hears more and more word. The voice that sounds like his father calls him by the nickname only he used. The reason that is strange is his father has been dead for nine years.
The voice wants help and asks him to come to the cemetery, the same one he had buried his father in nine years earlier. When he gets there he finds a young man, naked, and alone. Without basic skills the thing about this man he calls XT is he is a dead ringer for his father but younger. That mystery was masterfully set-up, with a raised eyebrow I was very interested in what was happening in the book. Once the details were laid out in the story I was not as interested in the concepts that drove the story.
Mosley tells a tale that doesn't have much science in it, the themes are more allegorical, which is odd for a book that is told with a minimalist prose style. The biggest weakness to mean are the characters like Errol whose is our voice is paper thin. the most interesting character is his resurrected father GT who falls out of the story for way to long. At this point we have to suffer through a government conspiracy story line that was far less interesting.
None the less I still enjoyed the book over all and want to read more Mosley. The characters and the general voice were interesting and carried me through. It is a short book that is overloaded with ideas. Without spoilers the concept mixes hippie like Gaia worship with supernatural elements that might have benefited from a wider scope.

The phone rings, waking you in the middle of the night. The voice on the other end claims he is cold and lost. The connection is broken. Next night, same thing, but the words are repeated several times. The voice sounds familiar. The next night, a longer conversation, with a few complete sentences. The voice sounds familiar. He claims to be your father. He knows things only your father would know. But Nine years earlier, you held your father's hand and watched him die after a long struggle with cancer.
So begins Walter Mosley's sci-fi novel, The Wave. Rather than go in the obvious direction of zombies or vampires, Mosley constructs what appears (to my totally amateur science mind) to be a plausible scenario involving a meteor, DNA, and an ancient life form.
How he develops his characters and moves the narrative along is pure Mosley: always literary, always insightful, never boring. But far, far from his usual Easy Rawlins, post-WWII LA based murder mystery.

A different take on an old science fiction theme. The writing was a bit of a mess, though.

All he had shown was that they were superior and helpless. It was as if a bunch of apes had captured a heavenly host of angels and were torturing them for their beauty.
Walter Mosley's The Wave had an interesting premise, but the execution of said premise is completely squandered. Not only does the plot fall apart, but Mosley's protagonist, Errol, must have sex with every woman encountered in entire book--except (thank God for small mercies) the pregnant sister of said protagonist, Errol. Really?
Won't be reading Mosley anymore.

Very wierd book, cautiously skirting/careening wildly around the edges of a lot of sci-fi cliches and getting at something a little uncomfortable and possibly profound, and definitely unusual, while doing so.

I liked this book. My only complaint is that it was all-too short.

For the past few nights, Errol Porter has been harassed by strange crank phone calls. One night, the caller says that he is Errol’s father. In the middle of the night, Errol breaks into the cemetery where his father was buried several years previously. There he finds GT, who looks, talks and acts like a younger, healthier version of his father. Errol takes him home for a shower and a change of clothes, if nothing else (Errol’s girlfriend, Nella, thinks that is a bad idea).
Along the way, GT tells Errol things about his family and about growing up that no one else could know. Errol’s first thought was that his father had another family, and this is his illegitimate son. GT also points Errol to a handwritten confession written many years previously. Errol’s mother was having an affair with a local man. Errol’s father murdered the man, and buried him under their garage, where his body is found. Slowly, but surely, Errol is convinced. One night, GT disappears, and Errol thinks that this is the end of the story.
That is, until Errol is kidnapped by government agents and taken to a secret facility. There, he is shown hundreds of people, risen from the dead, all with amazing powers of recuperation. He watches as what looks like a six-year-old girl regenerates an arm that has just been amputated. The head of the facility, Dr Wheeler, is convinced that this is the beginning of some sort of alien invasion. GT returns, and Errol learns that millions of years ago, a cellular intelligence came to Earth via a meteor. It recently found a life form it can use, dead people, and wants to peacefully coexist with the people of Earth. It also wants to give humans a storehouse of ancient wisdom, which looks a lot like a pool of black slime. But all Dr Wheeler can hear is Alien Invasion!
Mosley may be better known as a mystery writer than a science fiction writer, but this is a really good science fiction story. It’s a very contemporary tale, with just enough Stephen King and Arthur C. Clarke in it. This is a pretty fast read that will keep the reader’s interest.

Maybe there is a rule to it, that when a male author reaches a certain age he no longer feels any compunction about hiding his sexual fantasies loosely tied to his stories. Or maybe it has to do with how established the author is. Or maybe it is just a sign of the times. Mosley thrusts erections and climaxes into a thinly written story for no plot-driven reason and without an ounce of character development.
There may be something here, but Mosley loses most of his credibility by having a narrator who admits to not having the skills to describe his adventure and experiences. Seriously, Walter? Then why let him tell the story? The Wave reads like a second draft of an ambitious story that instead served to fulfill a book contract. Mosley keeps fighting his own pacing, throws in female characters to either desire the protagonist's penis (or be forbidden from doing so as family), and does little to fulfill the promise of his premise.
On the other hand, it is short. Takes almost no time to read.

Errol Porter gets phone call from someone who sounds like his long dead father. This sets off a bizarre and deadly chain of events that is a little hard to swallow. I know it's Sci-Fi, but usually I can conceive of the concept being purported. I couldn't quite see it in this book because how could the little entities have "seen" the dinosaurs and the cavemen, and the whole development of the earth when they were in the earth, emerging towards the top of the earth, but still, traveling in the rock? I didn't quite get it, although I liked the ending where the friend became the enemy and the enemy the friend.

A phone call from someone who sounds like a long dead father sets off a bizarre and deadly chain of events. This is the second time I read this book on my romp through Walter Mosley's books.

Errol's life is solidly average. He's going through a painful divorce, but there's a girl at work that seems to share his mutual attraction. He lost his house, but he made a deal with the new owner to rent the garage as a living space on the cheap so he still has a roof over his head. However, just to make sure his life is completely off kilter, he starts receiving calls in the middle of the night from his father. Problem is, dad's been dead for 9 years. Driven to distraction he tracks down this stranger that sounds exactly like his dad and knows things his dad would know. But this stranger (living in the cemetery where his dad was buried) looks younger than himself... even if he looks remarkably similar to his father. Errol's life goes off the rails as he searches for answers. Who is this man and what does his appearance mean, not only for Errol, but for the world? Swing by https://youtu.be/mrrhhR8WomY to see why I rated it a 4.

The first 100 pages of this short book are really compelling and tightly focused on Erroll, his new girlfriend and his mystery caller. I was totally hooked. And then it just explodes into this high-concept not-really-alien-invasion plot line with kidnappings, murder, trippy dreamscapes and body snatching. It feels like just too much stuff for the other 100 or so pages (and my brain) to handle and makes the book feel unbalanced. there's definitely an interesting message, I just wish the author had taken more time to develop it.

While a very readable and short story, this little book had some major issues, mainly with the narrator. Mosley writes a forgettable, blah, typical male character, that has almost zero character development and just wanders aimlessly through the plot with his mouth open (at least that’s how I imagine him). He screws anything that’s available (whether it be the supposed love interest, someone else’s sex crazed wife, or multiple “alien” organisms), which wouldn’t have been a real issue if A. There had been a reason behind it that lends to the plot or story, or B. The author hadn’t started off the story with an engaging romance between the narrator and his co-worker. I guess the main question I had with this book was WHY? A lot of the story and character actions felt random and had little intent behind them, and at no time did I feel like the stakes were high or that this book had any sort of overarching message or theme. There were some good ideas within this book, that I wish had been explored more thoroughly and scientifically, as opposed to being explained through hallucinations and dreams.
I guess all I have to say is, thank god it was short.

It is a short and pleasing science fantasy, almost an extended comic book, that puts an ordinary man into a fantastic situation, adds in some evil government scientists, some soldiers, and an extra-terrestrial ancient power to create one wild battle of wits. Highly enjoyable.

It’s a fucking crime that Walter Mosley isn’t more famous and widely read. This is my second Walter Mosley book and both were just absolutely unlike anything else I’ve ever read. They were both so down to earth while still being so imaginative and out of the box.
Gosh I’m just stewing because this short book was SO GOOD and I’d have never even heard of it if I hadn’t randomly picked it up at a used bookstore.
I’d have read this in one setting if I could have, but I had to force myself to go to sleep and I’m glad I did because it was great to come back to this story that held such big ideas and thought provoking concepts—with a fresh mind.
This synopsis holds such a tiny snippet of the massive ideas in this book and I don’t know at all how to describe the premise without giving anything away. Just know that if you’re intrigued by intelligent non human life forms and the way humans might respond to discovering another life form—you have to read this entirely unique take on this idea. Don’t try to get more info—go in and be drawn in and surprised.
The last thing I want to say about the premise of the book—because it’s something I always seek and so rarely find—I literally can’t write without giving crucial plot points away and so I won’t. So just read this and find out.
I’m so excited to have given two for two books by Walter Mosley five stars because he’s written SO MUCH! He’s a new favorite author and I’ve got so many options to keep reading from him!!!

My Rating Scale:
1 Star - Horrible book, It was so bad I stopped reading it. I have not read the whole book and wont
2 Star - Bad book, I forced myself to finish it and do NOT recommend. I can't believe I read it once
3 Star - Average book, Was entertaining but nothing special. No plans to ever re-read
4 Star - Good Book, Was a really good book and I would recommend. I am Likely to re-read this book
5 Star - GREAT book, A great story and well written. I can't wait for the next book. I Will Re-Read this one or more times.
Number of times read: 1
Average story with average characters. Another author putting sex scenes in a story that don't add to the story. Why do so many authors put needless sex into their stories. It only makes their stories cheaper.
Characters - The character development was on the poor side. The main character is developed but none of the other characters see much development. So you never really connect with the characters in the story.
Story - The story was interesting but nothing special. The story kept me interested enough to finish the book. It was not good enough to keep me from putting it down for times.
Overall - This is worth reading but nothing to run out and get right now. If you find yourself looking for something average to read then this would be an ok pick.

As mentioned in other reviews the writing is a bit strange. That didn't put me off, though, the rhythm works for the story. It's also good to see a book with believable Black characters.
The narrative IS a bit thin, it's a short book and much of it is about personal relationships and revelations. The sci-fi aspect is almost shoe-horned in there. This could have been set in the Vietnam war, or colonial Africa and it would likely have worked as well.
I actually found that I read this book twice in 2 years, because I couldn't remember almost anything about the story. I've read stuff that's way more gripping than that. And there's a lot of sex on the borders of the story. Nothing wrong with that, but it feels superficial "this guy is now lonely so he sleeps with someone, who has some agenda of their own". Maybe I'm sheltered but that level of cynicism in personal relationships doesn't seem to happen much around here.
I'm torn for a rating. I like how he writes. I'd give it 4+ for the writing and 3+ for the story, average at around 4 I guess.

This is the first Walter Mosley book I have read. It was interesting and not what I expected from the discription that was given to me when I bought this book.
The writing is good, a little romance, a little thriller/mystery, and a little sci fi.
It is different, and odd from an everyday read I feel and I didn't care more ch for the main guy for I feel he was shallow from certain events that happen.
I do like that the ending, is a little open if he wants to go farther but enough to where you don't need more.

This story has went over many ppls heads it seems. It's such a big, deep, and profound story that it had to be hard to write. The idea is so big that the writing had to be in the style that it was, which many would say is hard to follow. The concept is hard to wrap the mind around for some, but this is my kinda story. I love the Easy Rawlings series. The sex in this story is lite in comparison to that series. This novel keeps you pondering on the universe, God, philosophy, and theology. If you don't care about those things, then this book is not for you.
March 19, 2019
I loved this book. Why? Well, for starters it has the uniquely wonderful Mosley writing style that can capture critical detail in just a few words. The characters were flawed enough to be believable, but sympathetic as well. Nifty, fast moving plot too. And best of all, the idea -- that humans are not necessarily the most evolved life form on this planet. There might be another that we have simply not noticed . . . yet.
August 7, 2020
Interesting idea. The story didn’t feel like a syfy when it started. So the dead being part of a primordial life form kind of took me by surprise and I couldn’t connect with the story after that. Also the MC almost disappeared when he met with the Wave. From then on he was very 2D and the pace and tension of the plot disappeared. All in all I enjoyed the first part and plowed through the second half.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

I am a fan of Mosley's Easy Rawlins mysteries and read anything by him I come across. Mosley doesn't write much SF and each attempt seems unique from the others. I liked this much better than is other SF novels, "Futureland" and "The Blue Light". This is soft SF and very allegorical. I enjoyed the tension between the government's fear of an being taken over by the XT's and Errol's acceptance of "the wave" through is personal connection with his seemingly resurrected dead father.

I was hesitant to try this given what some of the reviews said, but I thought it was worth a shot. Nope. Didn't care for the narrator much, but I could have lived with that. It was the story & style of writing. I don't mind some sex & there was only some kissing & petting, but way too much, way too early, & far too descriptively. Not for me.
September 19, 2017
At first, I thought I was reading a Dean Koontz book, but by the end, I knew this was no Koontz book--it had with way too much happiness. Walter Mosley's The Wave kept glued to it so that I finished it in one day. The book has lulls, but they are short. After you've read it, there are things to ponder over. This is not a book I will forget.
November 15, 2021
A different genre from the author most famous for Easy Rawlins mysteries, The Wave is a sci-fi novel about a man who is contacted by someone claiming to be his long-dead father. The ensuing tale involving mad scientists, government plots and an ancient force emerging from the earth is told in Mosley's unmistakable style, but fails to go anywhere interesting or maintain coherence. Disappointing.
July 31, 2022
I have read and loved many Mosley books - and love more than just his detective novels. But this venture into sci fi was not for me. It started off interesting enough - calls in the middle of the night from someone claiming to be his long dead father. But then it just got weird and not that interesting. To me.
February 6, 2023
Great story until the last 15% then it really went off the rails. Errol is renting a garage to live in and working as a cleaner at a pottery. His divorce is on the rocks and his girlfriend won't give him so much as a kiss. One night he begins to get bizarre phone calls. Visiting the cemetery where is father was buried Errol meets a very strange man.

Another good Walter Mosley book. Science fiction is not my favorite subject;, but Mosley does it well.
Another great book by Mosley. Science fiction is not my favorite, but Mosley does it all well. My 3 last required words.
