Terry Hayes’ long-awaited second novel, The Year of the Locust, is launching on Feb 6., some 10 years after his bestselling, groundbreaking thriller I Am Pilgrim. It’s been a long wait for fanatical Pilgrim fans, but from the first sentence of Locust, it’s like reconnecting with a long-lost friend. (Read the review on BookTrib.) Hayes is a master of the genre, balancing precise prose with striking suspense.
BookTrib Editorial Director Jim Alkon, a certified Terry Hayes addict, had the pleasure of talking with the author about The Year of the Locust, the cult status achieved for I Am Pilgrim, and the people, places and events that have influenced his work.
The Year of the Locust is out February 6, and is available for preorder on Amazon and at Simon & Schuster.
