Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre

Kate Holland and her husband move to Greenloop, a high-tech eco-community in the shadow of Mount Rainier. When the volcano erupts, the residents are cut off from the outside world, with no roads or phone service. Then strange creatures begin to attack them. The book is composed of Kate's journal, plus interviews and reports from the aftermath, as the community faces what appears to be a pack of Bigfoot-like creatures. Max Brooks mixes survival horror with commentary on technology and civilization.

A good read for fans of World War Z and for those who enjoy found-document fiction. It suits readers who like monster stories with a sense of realism and a high body count.

Practical, outward-looking, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.

Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
