Robert R. McCammon – Mine (Pocket Books, 1990, 487 p) Mary Terrell, aka Mary Terror, is a scarred survivor of the radical '60s. Once a member of the fanatical Storm Front Brigade, Mary now lives in a hallucinatory world of memories, guns and murderous rage …
Laura Clayborne is a successful journalist, wife of a stockbroker, with a BMW and a house in the right Atlanta suburb. Her marriage foundering, Laura hopes that her newborn son David, will make her life everything it ought to be …
When Mary Terror steals Laura's baby from the hospital, a journey of the damned begins – through an America of wandering misfits, seedy motel rooms, '60s radicals disguised by plastic surgery, and a former FBI man out for personal vengeance. As Laura Clayborne closes in on Mary Terror, she will have to think like her, act like her – even kill like her.This is McCammon's first non-supernatural novel. He sure was in tune of popular topics. Thanks to the barrage of endless re-runs in TV I can remember at least two or three crime series episodes which did it, from Law&Order to Castle. The novel never did interest me much, and I never read it. When I did the scan I browsed the ending. It was exactly as I imagined. |
