Science fiction has hopefully changed direction a little with `Continuity' where some people are not really people at all; they are merely `meat suits' that are soulless that have been created by beings called Guardians. Mason Fiske is one of these `suits' and a fairly simple one at that to begin with but soon discovers he is more and has healing powers but by using these powers he is killing the guardians (unknown to him).The pace that this novel takes is quite staggering and is faster than most, and for that I thank the author C. Allen Brown's. He has made this a book that is very hard to stop reading once you get going and to be honest I found it pacey enough to make me want to go back a page or two to make sure I was getting everything he was telling me. It is also a novel that you will almost certainly return to time and time again.Just the very idea of other life forms has intrigued me for many years as I do have some belief that it is possible other life forms do actually exist, so not only did the pace of the book grab me but the content too, it fully satisfied my tastes.I noted an earlier review that this novel may well be used as a basis for a movie and I have to agree. It is certainly different enough to warrant that honor and if that does happen I hope they do it full justice, anything less than a blockbuster would be a travesty.For a debut novel this guy has an incredibly promising future ahead of him and his next (and hopefully it is not far away) will be eagerly awaited by me.
