An excellent read. This book nicely mixes scientific research, with shadowy military types and repeated flash-backs into the darker recesses of our near past, before exploding into dramatic leaps into the multiverse. It's a nice moral tale but not in a preachy way. Well worth reading.

I won't give out the plot here, but I REALLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys jane jensen's previous books (Judgement Day AKA millennium rising, or the Gabriel Knight series). Its plot is gripping, I found myself finishing this book too soon. You'll get hooked! You might want to read an excerpt from the first chapter, found on the author's official website.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

When I started this book I really enjoyed what I was reading - it struck me as being what the Da Vinci Code could have been like with a competent author at the helm. That feeling lasted until about half-way through, when the plot suddenly degenerated into a kind of pseudo-science-fiction mish-mash which was completely unbelievable on all levels - no matter what your personal feelings about parallel universes or multiverses. I persevered for another couple of chapters, and then gave up. I simply couldn't be bothered to finish it.
That said, the author's writing is excellent, with good characterisation, crisp dialogue and formidable descriptive powers. If only she could devise a sensible plot ...
