Premonition

Rating:
Summary: Sex and monsters, what could go wrong?
Review: Quite a bit really, but Williamson writes pulpish novels for entertainment and Premonition is certainly not boring. This is part of a series of novels regarding a parapsychology teacher (I cannot remember his name, but I do know he looks just like Basil Rathbone) who, like reporter Carl Kolchak, always managed to get embroiled in some strange, paranormal events. Other books featuring him are Williamson's The Ritual and Brotherkind. None of the events in each of the different novels are mentioned outside of the book in which they happen, each can stand alone.

In this novel we have him head off to an island to try a new lifestyle in which people live in exact harmony with their astrology signs. Things go well for awhile, people have some truly wild sex with each other (as long as their signs match up for combatibilty) and the mental energy is off the scale.

Then people begin to die.

There is also some strange scientist guy who is doing medical research that Tampers in God's Domain. Everything comes together at the end, but does it add up? [NO], but as I said at the beginning of my little review, Williamson only aims to entertain and that this just what he does with this book. An enjoyably insane book.
