Thoughtful and fascinating, an exciting new universe with very different concepts, and a brilliantly written story set in it. The only criticism I can level is that the end is a little to clean a setup for the series but then I can't wait to read them...
an interesting new take on parallel worlds, but being for a series/sequel
Amazing, and introduction to a fascinating series, the interweaving stories starting 30 years before the present and even touching before they start to converge. The scene setting is descriptive and character introductions give the impression that Hamilton hadn't decided who would die when he wrote them giving a good ‘Anyone Can Die' feel initially though later on some characters are obviously not expendable (yet). The only downside is a few just-in-time/just-to-late coincidences, and these look to be expanded further later
While the enemies could (crudely) be described as “fast zombies with superpowers” initially it doesn't stay that simple, and will be the crux of the series
