While grieving her husband's murder, a young Colorado veterinarian meets a troubled FBI agent and begins to uncover the world's most sinister secrets in this thriller from James Patterson.

Frannie O'Neill is a young and talented veterinarian living in Colorado. Plagued by the mysterious murder of her husband, Frannie throws herself into her work, but it is not long before another bizarre murder occurs and Kit Harrison, a troubled and unconventional FBI agent, arrives on her doorstep.

Late one night, near the woods of her animal hospital, Frannie stumbles upon a strange, astonishing phenomenon that will change the course of her life forever: an eleven-year-old girl named Max.

With breathtaking energy, Max leads Frannie and Kit to uncover one of the most diabolical and inhuman plots of modern science. Bold and compelling, When the Wind Blows is a story of suspense and passion as only James Patterson could tell it.

great book

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2023

This is a great book, it’s one of my favorites. It takes the imagination let’s it soar…… I wish I could fly.

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2006

Verified Purchase

James Patterson has done a number of overlapping novels around the theme of beautiful genetic hybrid children who fly. His books are often page-turners that engage the reader almost against your will. One is inclined to forgive the loose ends of plot development that he leaves lying around. However, the notion that a large group of renegade genetic manipulators could operate in secret and with impunity from law enforcement (not to mention investigative journalists!) as it kills off its opponents and conducts massive man-hunts for seven flying kids, is a little too much of a reach.

Still worth the read, even if you don't buy the sequels.

Reading thru this far-fetched mystical story, I figured there's no way something like this could happen in this world! But, that said, why would it not? This book took me on its ride and showed what it might be like to have this now!

Be aware this is #1. I read them in the wrong order, but thoroughly enjoyed both. Amazing what we are capable of doing when our loved ones are threatened.

Writer leaves ya hanging

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

I gave it a 3 only because I've read Patterson for years. Most of the time I have to put it down because he puts too much detail in his writing. This series lacked that. Most of the chapters left me hanging. I don't like writers who do that.
Won't stop me from reading more of him.

"When the Wind Blows " begins in darkness, not the darkness of the night but the darkness of the soul, and I didn't know if I wanted to finish it. But then James Patterson's magical storytelling skills, intrepid mind, and compassion take over, and the book becomes one you've don't want to put down. Set in the forested foothills of the Rocky Mountain Front Range outside Boulder, Colorado, a determined fired FBI agent, a veterinarian, a group of thoroughly corrupt and unethical government officials (from several agencies), and a flock of captivating scientific experiments - part human children/part bird - come together to tell a remarkable story. to tell, and it's one you won't want to miss.

Adbridged book leaves much to be desired

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2014

Verified Purchase

First time I listened to it it made my hair stand on end. Talk about a cliff hanger this book is one.

It is a great Story, and it makes you wonder just how much of it could, or is, going on right now it our government. Is it possible that what happen to these children , I don't know. I know that the book is a good one and worth reading, or listening to.

I wish this book was the unabridged version. Four hours are left out and to me that takes away from the book that I have read.

Because the chapters are short, it's very easy to get sucked in and before you know it you're 30 chapters in. Brilliant story too.

　フラニーは、一年半前に夫が殺害され、今なお獣医師としてコロラドの山中で暮らしていた。

　FBI捜査官のトムは、上司の指示を無視して、独自に違法な生体実験を行う学者グループを調査していた。フラニーの家を借りて調査するうちに、羽で空を飛ぶ少女を発見する。

　探偵小説風で、ファンタジーであり、たわいない話しだが、結構面白い。ハッピーエンドなので安心して読めます。
