The concept of the ninth wave, that in a sequence of incoming waves every ninth one would be stronger than the preceding eight, is what I recall from this novel. Good story, questionable idea, but fascinating at the time I read about it. I've no memory of characters, plot, or any other things about the book. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

The Ninth Wave, published in 1956, follows a political campaign complete with then cutting-edge innovations of opinion polling, computers and the use of campaign consultants. Though we now know - even in a world of Facebook and Obama - that data and numbers can't quite predict and control political outcomes in the way the book lays out, the world has turned out close enough to Burdick's picture of the future to make The Ninth Wave a prescient and still relevant story, and one that should be loved by people who are into the mechanics of politics.
