Synopsis

Erin Neal has been living a secluded life in the Arizona desert since the death of his girlfriend and he isn't happy when an oil company executive comes calling. A number of important Saudi oil wells have stopped producing and Erin is the world's foremost expert in resolving just these kinds of complications. Erin quickly finds himself stuck in the Saudi desert studying a new bacteria with a voracious appetite for oil and an uncanny talent for destroying drilling equipment. It soon becomes clear that if this contagion isn't stopped, it will infiltrate the world's petroleum reserves, cutting the industrial world off from the energy that provides the heat, food, and transportation necessary for survival. As the threat becomes more real, Erin realizes that there's something eerily familiar about this bacteria. And that it couldn't possibly have evolved on its own.

Mills' book "Darkness Falls" largely misses the mark on both counts. Early on, I was certain that I had discovered a hidden gem of a book as this vein of financ......more

Goodreads review by Wynter

This is a book about terrorists putting a bacteria into the water injectors of oil wells and affecting the world's oil supply. It was VERY interesting and I ended up increasing my food storage at home after reading this book! I also love FBI/CIA novels, so this fit the bill for me.......more

Quotes

“Masterful thriller writer Mills returns to his series hero, former FBI agent Mark Beamon (last seen in 2002’s Sphere of Influence), with a pulse-pounding apocalyptic scenario that is terrifying in its plausibility…Mills’s meticulous research, pacing and carefully developed characters make this variation particularly convincing.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Mills has done it again: another up-all-night read (with nightmares to follow).” Booklist (starred review)
