Exodus 2022 by Kenneth G. Bennett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
For me, the best part of this book was the setting. Whenever I read a book that takes place in Washington state, I am so excited to read about areas I actually know and have even visited. I am a native Washingtonian after all. It is evident that the author knows and appreciates Washington state and all its beauty.
On the positive side, this book is extremely well-written, and as far as science fiction goes, it is certainly different and even a bit quirky. The descriptions in the book are fantastic, and the story is cohesive throughout. The characters were well-developed, and even though I did not connect with them, that was not the fault of the author.
There are no bedroom scenes, but you will find some profanity (that I could have done without). The plot was a bit too weird for me at times, but it kept my interest until the end. Although it was well-written, I cannot say it was a favorite of mine. For die-hard science fiction lovers or possibly even fantasy lovers, this may be the perfect book for you.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.

About the book: Joe Stanton is in agony. Out of his mind over the death of his young daughter. Or so it seems.
Unable to contain his grief, Joe loses control in public, screaming his daughter’s name and causing a huge scene at a hotel on San Juan Island in Washington State. Thing is, Joe Stanton doesn’t have a daughter. Never did. And when the authorities arrive they blame the 28-year-old’s outburst on drugs.
What they don’t yet know is that others up and down the Pacific coast—from the Bering Sea to the Puget Sound—are suffering identical, always fatal mental breakdowns.
With the help of his girlfriend—the woman he loves and dreams of marrying—Joe struggles to unravel the meaning of the hallucination destroying his mind. As the couple begins to perceive its significance—and Joe’s role in a looming global calamity—they must also outwit a billionaire weapons contractor bent on exploiting Joe’s newfound understanding of the cosmos, and outlast the time bomb ticking in Joe’s brain
