A brilliant meteor lights up the Maine coast... and two young women borrow a boat and set out for a distant island to find the impact crater. A scientist at the National Propulsion Facility discovers an inexplicable source of gamma rays in the outer Solar System. He is found decapitated, the data missing. High resolution NASA images reveal an unnatural feature hidden in the depths of a crater on Mars... and it appears to have been activated. Sixty hours and counting. Review: great fun! - Another fast paced, great fun, super characters story. I love these characters and always look forward to the next one. Review: Mr. Preston Scores Again...Sort Of - In typical Preston fashion, he takes a scientific--albeit theoretical--idea, a likable protagonist, a very nasty human being, and a beat-the-clock plot pitting everyone against each other. As in his other undertaking, Blasphemy , we have all the elements of a great thriller, and how he manages to juggle everything without leaving the reader confused is one of his many talents. By bringing the aforementioned scientific theory to life, he is officially in the upper echelons of the Michael Crichton School of Writing. Other authors have tried, and failed, to do what Crichton did effortlessly (e.g., Jurassic Park ), and Preston is one of the select few to pull it off. This is what happens when you have a science-educated man writing thrillers for a living; he breathes new life into heretofore incomprehensible concepts, and he does it all by keeping one thing in mind: always entertain the reader. Without giving away the plot points, as it would diminish the book's "impact" when things start revealing themselves, let's just say that Preston once again kept me up very late as I was unable to put the book down. The entire plot, and mini plots, came together so brilliantly in the end I was a bit surprised I didn't see it coming. Hooray for Preston! Most times I see the denouement coming a mile away, but this one left me saying, "Well I'll be dammed!" The reason I'm not giving it five stars is that I felt the characters could have used some more development. Don't get me wrong: I love a page-turning thriller that doesn't spend excessive time on character development (see Stephen King) and less time on action and adventure. This, however, was just shy of being balanced correctly. I wanted to know more about Wyman Ford and his background (I believe he was introduced in Blasphemy), especially since I couldn't remember why his name sounded familiar, and helpful for new Preston readers. Do not let this stop you from reading Impact. You'll enjoy the science, the adventures, the plot, the multiple climaxes, and the final shebang. It gives new meaning to that other book's title, New Moon. Have fun! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #957,870 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4,843 in Suspense Thrillers #52,806 in Action & Adventure Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 3,149 Reviews | ## Images ![Impact (Wyman Ford Series, 3) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Cjo-oFkpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great fun! *by A***R on March 24, 2026* Another fast paced, great fun, super characters story.

Have fun! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fun and engaging read! *by B***I on August 6, 2017* Ranging across the Earth (and beyond), Impact is a well-written adventure with finely-developed, nuanced characters and a fun science-fiction story with a conclusion that really makes one think about the Universe (and our place in it). Pretty standard stuff for fans of Doug Preston (and/or Lincoln Child)! This second Wyman Ford adventure occurs after, but not necessarily as a sequel to, the events related in @Tyrannosaur Canyon"; bringing us more action, suspense, international intrigue, and multiple mysterious murders. While I highly recommend that one too, both stories stand very well on their own and do not necessarily NEED to be read in sequence (or lose anything from being read out of order of publication). This one reminded me a lot of Child's excellent "Deep Storm", with a sci-fi twist that is somewhat similar to that story, but in the end, very different. Can't wait to read the next one! -waj --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/5000452-impact-wyman-ford-series-3](https://www.desertcart.in/products/5000452-impact-wyman-ford-series-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
