In the near future, Tibor Tarent, a freelance photographer, is recalled from Anatolia to Britain when his wife, an aid worker, is killed--annihilated by a terrifying weapon that reduces its target to a triangular patch of scorched earth. A century earlier, Tommy Trent, a stage magician, is sent to the Western Front on a secret mission to render British reconnaissance aircraft invisible to the enemy. Present day: a theoretical physicist develops a new method of diverting matter, a discovery with devastating consequences that will resonate through time.

such a good book to read just that when I was close to the end I was sure it will explain shit. Spoiler, I guess.

Not Priest's best. The multiple viewpoints all have the same voice, as dry and dull as a DIY manual, and the whole alternate reality / parallel dimension thing has been done better elsewhere
