A tiny, pristine island in the North Pacific is ground zero for Ninth Waves newest environmental battle. Leased for oil exploitation, the island is in danger of being consumed completely by a million tons of heavy machinery poised to roll in. The indigenous animals are about to be obliterated. But they may yet have friends in high places.
The Massive: Ninth Wave delivers another solid standalone tale that expands on the cast and their adventures prior to the big events of the main series. There's a sense of tugging on heartstrings this time around that's balanced by some legal simplicities that makes it complicated in its own way, but in the end it has its small moments of hope amid some really damaging and disturbing things. Part of me just wanted to see the events on the island filmed and shared to the world to see if that would sway opinion, but the truth is that it would only damage it briefly and not seriously. The Massive continues to be a reminder of how screwed up we are as a species in what we allow to happen too often and with far, far, too much ease. Read Full Review
