5.0 out of 5 stars
Absolutely fantastic!, January 2, 2004
This review is from: Dark Matter (Unbound)
This book was gripping, thrilling, very interesting, and a real page-turner. I was up till all hours of the night reading this--I literally couldn't put it down. Garfield Reeves-Stevens' mix of science (physics especially quantum physics), murder, horror, mystery, and fiction are all intertwined to create a wonderfully fantastic story with brilliant characterizations and deep (but not too extravagant) details (some of which go beyond "gruesome"). This is one of the best books I've ever read in any genre. Definitely not for the faint of heart!

By A Customer
A perfect brain-twister, in between modern physics and schizophrenia. Not only the author's writing is delightful, but also the way the plot is deviced and the motives intertwined, one of the most think-inducing aspects in this book being the way it succeeds in combining both a true psychological horror, and the most cold-hearted scientific approach - in the straight line of such masterpieces as Lovecraft's Whisperer in Darkness.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Definetly different, August 19, 2004
I really do like Stevens' writing...the subjects that he writes about are very interesting as well..
this book is a mixture of quite a few things...physics, murder, madness...some of the book gets a little too involved with the science but it doesn't take away from the overall experience..
the book starts off with some very bizare goings-on..this isn't just your run of the mill murder mystery..
my only problem with the book was that I found it hard to utilize teh suspension of disbelief...the latter half of the book relies HEAVILY on physics and space..and what happens..well, I'm not going to spoil it, but it was definetly way out of left field!
But I do have to say that I enjoyed the book an awful lot. Definetly worth looking into.
