Title: Would unsubstantiated "news" enrage the populace?
Review: I started off reading with a "prove it to me" attitude about whether ordinary people would be so mean-spirited as to persecute a person as shown in the way the book opens. By the time television journalist Alan Weston crosses paths with booze and bikers, I was hooked by Mr. Boyll's ability to flesh out his characters. The action throughout develops from the truth inside each of us. There is a good sense of timing and full development of all the scenes. Katastrophe is well worth the read. And, yes, the world can be a cold place but there are heroes out there.
