The Seventh Wave
Callum is a thief and on one of his jobs he enters a strange house with deadly guardians ... he escapes but in doing so he triggers a sequence of events which ensure he is a marked man, to be hunted down and killed. He has also met Sam, a freelance journalist researching the owner of the house, the wealthy Sebastian Cervantes, and his empire.
Sebastian is the head of The Club, a group dedicated to bringing the Great Ones into our world, enabling the members to share in the spoils of absolute power. A surge of energy, The Seventh Wave, will soon carry the Great Ones through the fabric of time and space into our world; only a small group of people stand between the Great Ones and their designs on the Earth. But the members of Helix are being picked off one by one and the group is severely compromised. Callum and Sam find themselves thrown in the deep end, desperately trying to survive and develop their latent magical abilities in a race against time. If they lose, so do we all. Cervantes must be stopped ...

Interesting book...

To say the least, I'm like
The beginning was so good! Wait, correct that, the middle was so good! Because the first few chapters were actually quite confusing and rather badly written I would say. It jumped around far too many characters.
So yes, the middle part was the most interesting. There seemed to be about three different themes playing about, the main one: F.E.A.R.
The ending:
The good guys lose, the bad guys? Well, one bad guy is dead I'm pretty sure. The others that took over, I'm not sure that they have the same plan as the other dude? Or maybe. It's weird and confusing.
Kind of a silly book over all.

After a very slow, fragmented start, the book improved and by 200 pages in I was quite enjoying it. Ending let it down though.
