Although I don't usually read books written in this genre, I've always been a fan of sci-fi movies and television programs, so I found myself instantly transported, through this author's expertly written and vivid narrative, into a strangely compelling world that seemed to take me back to those wonderful sci-fi programs I've enjoyed throughout the years.With its well-defined characters (both human and "un-human") and its unsettling feeling of a disaster just waiting to happen, one cannot help but be drawn into the narrative; and even though the plot's timeline shifts a bit, everything is clearly marked. In fact, in my opinion, the shifting timeline is actually a strength of this novel, especially when the reader finally gets to the end and (as in my case) is tempted to re-read earlier portions of the book, in such a way that they seem to take on an even added significance.As with most excellent pieces of literature, I found myself getting caught up in the events that were unfolding before me, to the point where I needed to read the last few chapters without interruption, such was the powerful attraction that this book held for me.Certainly one of the most intriguing and powerful works of literature that have come my way in a long time! Highly recommended!(The author supplied me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.)
