Evolution's greatest gift to humans is their powerful imagination.It separates us from other animals and takes us where the physical universe will not allow us to go.When you can combine imagination with the even rarer ability to represent it, be it in paintings and illustrations, sculptures, movies, music, comics, or in this case writing, then those of us who can only wish we had these skills can at least share the creator's vision and derive enjoyment from it.Lee Thompson is a writer whose wildly creative imagination leads him to create entirely new, unexplored territory populated by odd, bizarre, and disconcerting creatures. His beautiful prose allows us to picture his creations in all their terrifying and horrific beauty.This is the first novel in the Division series.At the time of writing this review, I have already read and reviewed the second book. Although, I found it confusing, it is nevertheless suffused with the author's brilliant imagination.Sadly, the third and fourth books are currently not easy to find. Hopefully, this will be resolved soon. I will be happy when this happens so that I can witness more oddities in this strange world.
