4.0 out of 5 stars
Deserves more than 2 stars
When I saw that this book had drawn an average of 2 stars (which turned out to be from just one review) I felt I had to give it a boost. There is some merit in the complaint that the characters are familiar types, but the main ones are developed through superior dialogue well enough that I was interested in their experiences. The book is of the family of "weird...

2.0 out of 5 stars
Hint of promise peeks from beneath recycled exterior
The description of characters and events is good at times, and the book is readable, but Nasir recycles the brainiac computer nerd, the foreign mystic/scientist, the does-it-all housewife/realtor, the ex-con trying to go straight (with limited success), the dead hero who promised to return (a la King Arthur), the scummy lawyer, the hard-boiled FBI agent, and a...

This review is from: The Higher Space (Paperback)
When I saw that this book had drawn an average of 2 stars (which turned out to be from just one review) I felt I had to give it a boost. There is some merit in the complaint that the characters are familiar types, but the main ones are developed through superior dialogue well enough that I was interested in their experiences. The book is of the family of "weird things happen to ordinary people who only slowly come to make sense of it and take control" family, as is the other Nasir book I've read (DISTANCE HAZE) and, say, much of James Blaylock. HIGHER SPACE isn't the very best such book out there, but if a reader likes that sort of tale this one will satisfy.

This review is from: The Higher Space (Paperback)
The description of characters and events is good at times, and the book is readable, but Nasir recycles the brainiac computer nerd, the foreign mystic/scientist, the does-it-all housewife/realtor, the ex-con trying to go straight (with limited success), the dead hero who promised to return (a la King Arthur), the scummy lawyer, the hard-boiled FBI agent, and a government conspiracy. The book is an interesting blend of science and fantasy, but the author needs some fresher ideas.
