During the waning summer days of 1987, a deranged Vietnam vet stalks Grand Rapids, Michigan, abducting and murdering nameless victims from the streets, leaving no leads for police. That is, until he picks up sixteen-year-old Molly. From their treehouse fort in the woods, three neightborhood boys spy the killer holding a gun to Molly’s back, they go to the police—only to have their story disregarded. But the boys know evil lives in their midst. A growing sense of honor and urgency forces the boys to take action—to find Molly, to protect themselves, to stand guard for the last long days of summer.

At turns heartbreaking and breathtakingly thrilling, The Fort perfectly renders a coming-of-age story in the 1980s, in those final days of childhood independence, discovery, and paradise lost.

Recensione

“With a sure hand and a compassionate eye, Aric Davis in The Fort chillingly portrays the intrusion of casual evil into the normal suburban life of kids, parents and cops.” ―Max Allan Collins, New York Times Bestselling author of Road to Perdition, and What Doesn’t Kill Her

“His natural storytelling style reminded me of a young Stephen King and the pacing was much like that of a James Patterson thriller. I feel like he has taken a turn with this book, from being a good writer to a great one.” ―Author Exposure

“A beautiful story of intrigue and suspense…Aric has written a lot more than a coming of age story, as it is much deeper emotionally and paced perfectly. The Fort is the perfect summer read, and should be on your reading list.” ―Suspense Magazine

He and his wife and daughter live in the chilly Midwest, where they can enjoy roller coasters, hockey, and cold weather.

5,0 su 5 stelle Fast-paced thriller!

Are you looking for a good thriller to read? Do you like reading into the night? If so, this book may be for you.

I was looking for a few books to read on my kindle when I came across the description for this one. Since I've spent all of my summers in Michigan (where this story takes place) I figured I'd give it a chance. I was in the mood for a thriller after reading a few other books that friends had recommended. Also, I had just finished the book about the Adam Walsh abduction, so I was hoping for a more satisfying ending with this book.

This book takes place in the late 1980's in Michigan, a time period I grew up during: No cell phones and the "be home before dark" rule. Three boys, Tim, Luke, and Scott have built a fort in the woods behind their houses, It's where they spend all of their time that summer, until the unthinkable happens: a local girl is kidnapped. Things go from bad to worse when the boys report having seen the girl being dragged through the woods and the police don't believe their story. What can the boys do to have the adults believe them? Is it worth it?

I found this book to be enjoyable--it kept my interest, which sometimes is very hard to do. I found myself reading late into the night because I didn't want to put the book down. It was fast-paced and I liked how the chapters alternated their focus on different characters. Definitely worth the price and the time!

Good story. Took some getting into, but worth the initial effort. Well written. Not my usual type of book, but I did enjoy it!

The idea was original. The plot was not just interesting for the adolescence, but also for the adults. With the exception of the mother, the characters were likable and believable. I would recommend it.

After accepting the offer of sample chapters I decided to order this book. Three young boys in a small town in northern US are part way through their summer holidays, playing war games in their fort in the woods, when they see a girl who has gone missing. She is being forced through the woods by a man with a gun.
Like most 12-year-olds, some aspects of their play are not known, or allowed, by their parents, but nonetheless they report this sighting to the police. Initially interested, the police are then presented with evidence which contradicts the boys' story, leading to the three being accused of lying. Two, Tim and Scott, are punished by their families, while the third, Luke, is left to his own devices by his troubled and neglectful mother.
The reader is never in any doubt about who is responsible for Molly's abduction, or the other murders which have taken place in the area; we read on in the hope that the detectives will cotton on soon. The story is set in 1987, hence the absence of mobile phones, the internet, I-pads etc: children are still free to roam, play and have unsupervised adventures. Crime detection is harder as sophisticated DNA tests are not yet available, which partly excuses the seeming incompetence of the police.
I was quite surprised that the author dedicated this book to his young daughter, given the subject matter: I wonder what she will think when she's old enough to read it.
