Summary

John Hawkins is counting down his last days as chief of police on the Lone Crow Reservation in the lonely, frigid woods of the Yukon. But when a faceless body with mysterious wounds washes up on the shores of the Porcupine River, he’s pulled deeper in than ever before.

Hawkins and coroner Jacob Littlecorn suspect the disfigured body is that of theoretical physicist Graham Raphelson, also known as the “molecular madman of Trinity College”, who recently disappeared. The two investigators enlist Meg Gilday, a charter boat captain, and Linda Raphelson to examine the place where her husband was last seen alive. There, they find a house infested with more than secrets: bugs wriggle behind the walls, and in the attic sits a bizarre machine cobbled together from toy parts and electrical wire, a device that might be able to tear a hole through the fabric of reality itself. When Meg and Jacob get bitten and someone goes missing, Hawkins realizes that firing up the machine might be the only way to solve the case.

Buzzing with suspense, this dark, gripping mystery from acclaimed horror writer Nick Cutter will leave listeners’ skin crawling.

Weird sort of supernatural sci-fi thing

To be honest, I never got to the end of this. It started off well, and there's no doubt the author knows how to create an air of bleak, Lovecraftian menace. However, the plot started to meander a bit, and I just couldn't find the energy to try to follow it. Although I liked the book, in general, I'm still not really sure what it's about.

The Troop was, in my view, a better novel.

Some Excellent Cosmic Body Horror

The Breach is a wonderful, grim story set in the Yukon with cosmic horror and uncomfortable changes in perception due to weird science. If the blurb caught your attention, it delivers on that potential and then some.

Kinda predictable

Starts off okay but soon becomes routine. Science is very sketchy. I wouldn’t waste your money.
