The Three



The Three by Sarah Lotz
471 Pages

The story opens with the crash of  four planes.  Three of the planes have 1 survivor each, a young child.  It is rumored that the fourth plane also has a survivor but no one can tell for sure.  The author has set up the book as an oral history recounting through a  series of interviews, articles and internet blogs related to the crashes and how each family of the survivors struggle to come to grips with their seemingly strange behavior .  At the same time we see a variety of theories surface, including one that the survivors are the four horsemen of the apocalypse. 

While interesting in its format the book never really takes off or manages to convey a proper sense of horror.
