Title: Waste of a Good Idea
Product review: Although James Herbert's imagination is obviously a vivid one, his writing skills are second rate at best. I fail to see how he has gotten this far in his career with his blatant disregard for good storytelling.The basic idea of '48(a plague released by Hitler after WW2 kills off almost everybody except our intrepid hero and a few others) is scary enough to impress, but it loses its impact when coupled with Herbert's stilted prose.
