Raves and Reviews for THE YEAR OF THE LOCUST:
“Go in expecting the unexpected, and you’ll walk away, jaw dragging on the floor, stunned and unable to stop thinking about this book for weeks . . . Shocking, far-fetched, but filled with bloody good fun, Terry Hayes comes out swinging yet again with The Year of the Locust, mixing storylines you might expect from Robert Ludlum and James Rollins, with a touch of Crichton and Fleming for added good measure.”- The Real Book Spy
“THE YEAR OF THE LOCUST is the must read of the year for the true connoisseur of the classic espionage thriller. Terry Hayes’ runaway bestseller I AM PILGRIM was an amazing tour de force; THE YEAR OF THE LOCUST reaches new heights in storytelling. Wonderfully literate, beautifully written, and tightly plotted. This one will stay with you a long time.” - Nelson DeMille, New York Times bestselling author of BLOOD LINES
“An absolutely brilliant, tension-filled, tour de force. This novel scared the sh*t out of me!” - Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author of SHADOW OF DOUBT

great interview. I'm hesitant to pick up the novel though... the reviews on Goodreads were not kind. In the slightest. But as always, I like to make up my own mind, but I may wait until the paperback's released.
Another outstanding interview!
The book was great for the first 3 parts. Part 4 jumped the shark. The unbelievable coincidences throughout are a problem but gets out of control in part 4. Total letdown. Can't recommend it.
yay Glad to see you guys back
Dude I just read this wholly its amazing
Started strong, as a really intriguing espionage novel starring Kane a denied access spy which means he operates in areas that are denied to most; Russia, Iran and Iraq. 60% of the novel was Kane hunting down the worlds most feared terrorist and this was a great manhunt spanning multiple countries.
But then, he starts doing flashbacks to other missions, submarine travel, then goes straight into science fiction, time travel, post apocalyptic world and then back to the initial manhunt.
Pages 1-400, I would recommend it. After that when the book just takes a very different turn, I couldn’t wait to be finished with it and be done with the novel. At nearly 800 pages, I wouldn’t rush to read this one. If it was half this length, I’d be more open to telling more people about this.
I’ll definitely keep an eye out for Hayes next piece of work, but will certainly be hesitant to pick it up as quickly as I did his sophomore work.
2/5 stars.
Kudos, guys! I think this might be the best interview so far, at least so far as memory serves. Hayes is a hoot, unpretentious, informative, provocative, and insightful. Well worth an hour in the sun on a perfect day on a Destin beach. I eagerly look forward to reading every inch ... I mean word. Thanks Terry and Crew!
Terry wrote to amazing back to back novels I am Pilgram and Year of the Locust
Locust is a fascinating read. I am at the point in the book when Ridley is heading back to KATO black site in Russian ...
The Year of the Locust grabbed me from page one all the way through i hope Terry keeps writing
