The Border
The Border | Robert R. McCammon
9 posts | 7 read | 23 to read
The Border is the saga of an Earth devastated by a war between two marauding alien civilizations. But it is not just the living ships of the monstrous Gorgons or the motion-blurred shock troops of the armored Cyphers that endanger the holdouts in the human bastion of Panther Ridge. The world itself has turned against the handful of survivors, as one by one they succumb to despair and suicide or, even worse, are transformed by otherworldly pollution into hideous Gray Men, cannibalistic mutants driven by insatiable hunger. Into these desperate circumstances comes an amnesiac teenaged boy who names himself Ethan--a boy who must overcome mistrust and suspicion to master unknowable powers that may prove to be the last hope for humanity's salvation. Those same powers make Ethan a threat to the warring aliens, long used to fearing only each other, and thrust him and his comrades into ever more perilous circumstances.

3.) Having a lot of Halloween fun with the family, telling spooky tales in the dark with candles burning, carving pumpkins, the autumn colours and tasty hot beverages. 🎃☕

Oh my god, what a phenomenal read this is!

I've never read a bad book by McCammon, he's one of my favourite authors; more people need to be reading his books!

If you're into science fiction/alien invasion stories, you need to get this book and read it!

Loved the characters and I cared for all of them, I'd say this is the best character driven book he's written!

Can't recommend this author enough, he's such a damn fine writer!

Top-Rated 💫

Suet624 I liked the one book I read of his. Thanks for reminding me to keep reading his work. 4y
TheNeverendingTBR @Suet624 Which one did you read? 4y

Reggie The scene that sticks in my mind even though it‘s been 20 years since I‘ve read Swan Song is when the brother and sister who are working are creeped out because that guy who‘s watching Faces of Death keeps laughing but what they can‘t see is how his face keeps morphing to someone at the scene of death. *shivers* I love MCCammon. And I loved this book. Especially the ending with the televangelist. 4y
TheNeverendingTBR @Suet624 Boy's Life was great, I'd like to give you another recommendation that's not The Border and that's Swan Song which is my favourite McCammon book 💫 4y
TheNeverendingTBR @Reggie I definitely need to re-read it, I've only read it once but absolutely loved it! 😌 4y
Suet624 Thank you! 4y

I‘m sorry, @Cinfhen and @vivastory but I‘m gonna have to hijack the hashtag for another song because growing up in a small town near Texas, If Tomorrow Never Comes by Garth Brooks comes up every time when you think of a song about #Tomorrow. #MusicalNewYear Also, I love this book.

Cathythoughts I love this song too 👍🏻♥️♥️ 6y

I loved this book and how it starts off with action. I did feel like he kinda took Two of his previous books Stinger and Swan Song and just combined them but considering I loved both of those books I had no problem with the similarities. Also I did tear up and thought the ending could have been a bit better but all in all I loved it

#getmovin #human We start off this book following a boy named Ethan as he wakes up in the middle of a war between 2 alien races, the Gorgons and the Cyphers, taking place over Earth. 3 years into the war there‘s hardly any humans left. What we‘re about to find out is that Ethan has special powers that can change everything. Maybe it sounds cheesy but McCammon, one of my favorite authors, writes characters you care about to make it all worth it.

AmyG A good writer makes it believable. 7y

#rocktober #TimesLikeThese we just gotta keep doing the best we can. And, I love Robert McCammon because no matter how dark his novels get, there‘s always a little light at the end of his books.
