In this cinematic thriller set in the Pacific Northwest, two sisters fight for survival after a natural disaster.

In the shadow of Mount Hood, sixteen-year-old Tennant is checking rabbit traps with her eight-year-old sister Sophie when the girls are suddenly overcome by a strange vibration rising out of the forest, building in intensity until it sounds like a deafening crescendo of screams. From out of nowhere, their father sweeps them up and drops them through a trapdoor into a storm cellar. But the sound only gets worse . . .

Editorial Reviews

Review

“A really entertaining thriller . . like Michael Crichton (who might have written something very like this), Patterson and Barker keep ratcheting up the suspense and the sense of impending doom, until, by the end, we wish we could read faster just so we can find out what happens next.”―Booklist

Certainly different from any other Patterson

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 4, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book took me by surprise fairly early into the reading of it. Is this science fiction, time travel, horror? After completely reading it I still am not sure what genre it is. A bit frightening, a bit horrifying, a little amusing (I’m not sure why I say that), and overall intriguing. I am not likely to ever read it again, and I’m not likely to forget it in whole as well as in part.

Enjoyable

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 29, 2021

Such a unique story told by the great Patterson and one of my favorite authors, Barker.

This is one of those books where I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but at the same time I couldn't put it down. These authors kept me asking all the questions and needing all the answers.

I was engaged from the start. Unique characters. Unique plot. Great follow-through from start to finish. Well, almost finish. I had a tough time with the ending. Although, there weren't many ways the book could end, I just wasn't feeling the ending. It was too far fetched and abrupt for my liking.

All in all, I really enjoyed this book. I don't say that often with books more on the sci-fi side. In fact, I'm not big on the sci-fi to begin with.

Weird book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 12, 2022

This book was so weird, and a little bit scary. Could something like this be developed. DARPA does exist! I pray they don't take on things like this. Think about this vivid pandemic, something went wrong with those experiments! Enough said.

AUGUST 2021 : 3 STARS

A mysterious explosion kills thousands in the Pacific Northwest and only two young girls survive. 16 Year old Tennant and 8 year old Sophie are checking rabbit traps when they feel a vibration that builds in intensity. Their dad drops them into a storm cellar. The sound only gets worse.

I'll start by saying I LOVE JD Barker. His 4MK Thriller 3-book series were all 5 star reads for me (The Fourth Monkey, the Fifth to Die and the Sixth Wicked Child). His newest standalone book, The Caller's Games ('21) was also a 5-star read. His first collaboration with James Patterson, The Coast-to-Coast Murders was a 4 star read and I'm hoping for a sequel in this series. This book starts as a "slow burn"; just enough intrigue to be eerie and tense at the same time. I think the book went on about 100 pages too long. It was very repetitive. Overall it felt like a sci-fi plot which I personally don't like. Well done writing but if there's a book 2, I will not be reading. I gave this book a generous 3 Stars.

As good as all the other doomsday novels put together. Smart, unforgettable, and in many ways believable. Just set aside 2 full days beforehand ad you won't want to put it down.

I really enjoyed this book and could not wait to know what the heck was causing The Noise. Loved the characters in this story. The only thing is I just could not wrap my head around the explanation of where the noise came from. Still a very good book.

Can anyone explain the ending of this book?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 19, 2021

Can anyone explain the ending of this book?
Someone once said:” if the beginning and the ending of a novel are good, everything boring in between can be forgiven and eventually forgotten.“ I sincerely hate to write a negative review but I have to say after a strong beginning followed by repetitive story lines was an ending that completely baffled me! I reread it three times and still cannot figure out what the heck it all meant. I can usually forgive a novel that’s boring so long as the ending is a surprise and strong. For me, without a terrific ending, any book is a waste of my time. So it is with this in mind, that I Felt compelled to warn future readers who feel like I do, that this book might leave you scratching your head when all is said and done. For the record, I have enjoyed many James Patterson books. For a while, this one reminded me of the much better Book “Cell” by Stephen King. That is, until it fell apart completely 2/3 of the way through. By the way, What happened to Zeke the dog?Also: In an early part of the story, the Roman Catholic cardinal Of New York City appears {SPOILER ALERT} on Air Force One with the president leading the reader to believe we might be heading into “The Exorcist” Territory but after this character is introduced we never hear from him again! Did the authors forget about him?

Patterson and barkers best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

Wow!!!this book is great , full, of action, suspense, horror and I too would think this would make a great film...so watch out patterson /barker the phones won't stop ringing once Hollywood hears about this new type of horror (easy to shoot as involves people running, clutching ears, screaming etc so not too expensive to turn into a great film which I would deffo pay to see !!).
It's set firstly in a wilderness village retreat where people live off the grid but after an event happens that leaves only 2 young girls unscathed the action moves to a army base and from there to several more locations. I would compare this book to the film the" happening"but in my opinion it's so much better , more action, excitement, and like with most of Patterson's/Barker books the pace of the book is well thought out though at times I too had to stop and take a breath as I felt I couldn't take the excitement.
If you've never read any of Patterson/Barker collaboration then I would highly recommend reading this as I'm sure that like me you will enjoy it too.

It was ok

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

This started off well, then it kind of got lost in too much military detail, then it got good again but then the end was such a let down. I hadn't actually realised it was the ending until I tried to get to the next page! James Patterson books used to be good. I loved the max ride books. I used to like the Alex Cross books but then they all started to feel exactly the same. The Women's Murder club books went the same way, then he introduced another kind of detective. I had hoped The Noise would be the return of the intrigue of the Max ride books, it was not! Such a disappointment

Something that's a bit different

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 1, 2022

Verified Purchase

I obviously didn't understand the synopsis on this book as it is so very different from what I would normally read. However, I carried on until the very end and quite liked it. There were some parts that I did not think were up to J P's normal standards but others were. I'm not sure I would want to read a follow on to this but it makes you think.........maybe I will switch the internet off after all.

This noise is compelling

Wow! This book had me hooked from the start.
I had to keep on reading it to find out what was causing the anomaly, and it's only really explained at the end of it, so it keeps you hooked throughout.
Different from his normal books, as this one is more in the horror/sci-fi genre than his usual thrillers, but it's definitely a page-turner all the same.
