"David Caine, a compulsive gambler plagued by crippling epileptic seizures, gets more than he bargained for while testing an experimental medicine. Unsure whether he's perceiving an alternate reality or suffering a psychotic breakdown, Caine discovers that powerful forces want him for their own. A highly original debut novel by an aspiring new talent."
I thought this was an excellent book. Some reviewers claimed there was too much technical detail or that it was too heavy on scientific detail, but I think the absence of these things is a failing in much modern science fiction. In another era, this might well have been considered a "hard" science fiction novel. It did fgade slightly towards the end, but it is one of the best novels I've read for some time.
Rated : 8/10
