I have to confess, that whilst the Kindle has led me down a number of previously unconsidered genre roads with very pleasing consequences—sci-fi in particular, I do remain a bear of very little scientific brain. And there’s a lot, quite a lot of science in this. I confess, I didn’t understand it all completely—it really is all very clever—but enough to thoroughly enjoy this very compelling novel.
Lucas Hunter is a dimension researcher. So what’s that? Well, simple: he researches dimensions. In a nutshell, he’s a time traveller working for The Second Internet Café exploring different dimensions (after divergence) in Reality One to bring back knowledge and information to the Café. (There are trillions of dimensions, by the way). He also has to save the 10-year project from a takeover by the Americans. Are you with me? No, I didn’t think so.
But don’t worry. This novel will have you with your finger firmly adhered to the click-button of your Kindle. You will be bumping into delightful words and phrases like matter de-confliction and quinvigintillion and inverted anti-neutralino. There’s a wonderful array of characters, from the greedy and ambitious to the dedicated and amiable. Lucas himself is very captivating—we don’t know that much about his physical attributes other than he is tall and dark-haired (who knows, he might even be handsome), but he is dedicated, focused, loyal, and has the odd moment of sincere tenderness (after all, he could have a girl in every dimension…)
This was an incredibly conceived, well thought-out and clever novel. The ‘science bit’ was complex, but what I liked about it, it wasn’t conveyed in a patronising or pompous way.
Sci-fi fans should put this at the top of their TBR. Outstanding.… (plus d'informations)
