If lost in another universe, what would you do?  Survival and confusion are the order of the day.  Samuel is trapped in a terrible dream or is it a journey into an unknown dimension of being -- an abyss?  He wakes from his sucide without memory; but, in his confusion, he slowly regains knowledge of his past life -- a reflection with an interesting development that may lead to absolution.  But death (again) is only a step away.The author has created interesting characters that are integral to and move the story forward: contrast and tension.  I like the descriptive writing style; to use a cliche: "paints pictures with words."Novels should have the required beginning, middle, and ending.  Although the ending is an ending of sorts, it is not an "ending-ending" -- a total resolution, which probably occurs in part 3.  It seem that stories in parts are now a common practice, but are to me a little irritating.  Regardless, this is a story worth reading for its entertainment value.  Reviewed by the author of The Children's Story, A Novel Not for Children (about good and evil).
