THIS BOOK WAS IGNORED UPON RELEASE IN THE LATE 70S,WHICH IS A SHAME BECAUSE IT IS PROBABLY JUSTIN SCOTT[THE SHIPKILLER]S BEST,AND IT HAS ONE OF THE BEST CONCLUSIONS I'VE READ. IT EVOKES A FEELING OF DREAD THROUGHOUT, AND THE CULTS TAKEOVER OF THE TOWN IS NEVER LESS THAN BELIEVABLE.THIS BOOK IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES SINCE I FIRST READ IT IN '78..............ITS A SHAME SCOTT DIDNT GET MORE ATTENTION.......

This is an absolutely incredible book. As an avid, lifelong reader, I can honestly say that this is one of my top favourites! Scott's style is wonderful and captiviting, and his characters are both loveable and despiseable. I shall say no more, for fear of giving away too much, but I beg you all to read this book!!

I read this novel several years ago, and found it again while unpacking some boxes. I decided to read it again, and it is still as good as the first time. The story invokes anger, fear and a feeling of helplessness. Simple concept - and difficult to dismiss, because it could happen.
