This book starts from the fictional perspective of a WWII scientist in Nazi Germany, and switches perspectives to a Tsunami off the coast of Japan. The whole plot is catastrophic and 'what if' in nature, and we've already had a sampling of the possible outcomes of playing with mother nature. What did the world learn from Chernobyl? And yet we still have nuclear reactors that are at the mercy of natural disasters. Tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornado's. No facility is safe, and we are fools.This book moves at a fast pace, and each chapter had me wondering what would happen next. I kept turning the pages to see where the plot would lead because I'm a science nerd. I also found myself going back in time through the eyes of these fictional characters, and projecting myself into a future where scientists continue playing God. The God Particle is not for light readers. It's intense, intellectual, and makes your brain hurt from thinking about the possibilities.This book is a cross between a mystery, and complex science fiction, and yet every bit of it is possible…so is it 'really' fiction? Read and find out.
