The Doomsday Conspiracy

Rating:
Summary: Warning! A real disappointment
Review: This was the first Sidney Sheldon book that I have read and I'm very hesitant to try reading another of his books after reading this. The UFO elements are entirely too hokey and he made little attempt to be creative with it (he gets a few points for them being made of vegetation). The locating of the witnesses quickly becomes dull because Commander Bellamy is always chasing thin leads that pan out and then the witnesses are systematically eliminated. I found myself thinking, 'get on with it.' Then Bellamy becomes the hunted and everyone he runs into betrays him. Things stay predictable through much of this book. Give me Jack Higgins or Dick Francis anyday over this.
