Product Description

Product Description
If you lived long enough, this could be your future, too In the late twenty-first century, you will find a very different world. Little is as it used to be, and many are not what they seem. Kendrick Gallmon, survivor of an infamous research facility called the Maze, is trying to pick up the pieces of his life, even though he knows the Labrat augments are slowly killing him. Then one day his heart stops beating, forever, and a ghost urges him to return to the source of all his nightmares, a long-abandoned military complex filled with entirely real voices of the dead.

About the Author
Gary Gibson is a graphic designer, previously magazine editor, in his home city of Glasgow. He has been writing since the age of fourteen and this is his second published novel (after Angel Stations).

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting ideas if a little slow, 27 Mar 2007
By Gordon Copestake (Newcastle-under-Lyme, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Against Gravity (Paperback)
I read this book with interest in the hope of finding a new author having exhausted my current list of authors and having re-read my whole collection to death.
Against Gravity started off well with a nice hook and some interesting mysteries, however I found myself skipping pages to keep the action moving. Things start to hot up towards the end but when I actually got to the end of the book I thought the last page must have been torn out. I was quite disapointed at where the author saw fit to end the story. Recommended if you have nothing else in your "too read" pile

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but suffers from a disappointing ending., 3 Jan 2007
By R. J. Beed "rickybeed" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Kendrick (the hero of the story) is in the wrong place at the wrong time as the USA falls apart. He is captured, tortured and finally used as an expendable guinea pig for military enhancements in ward 17. All the inmates of ward 17, ended up with an unexplained connection to a failed space station, tasked to find God. Now the whole world seems to be after them...

The book tells the story by swapping (rather confusingly) between different times of Kendrick's past.

It's a good book that holds your attention well, but has a rather disappointing ending.
