The Gone World

It's hard to describe the plot of this book. It has elements of a murder mystery mixed with starship travel in both space and time. There is also the coming destruction of Earth as what is called the Terminus is working its way back from the future ever closer to the present set in 1997. As the main character, a one-legged female member of a special branch of the space faring navy, looks into the brutal slaying of a family and a missing teenage daughter of the family, it is slowly revealed how this case has ripples through space and time that connect the case to the origins of the Terminus. The plot becomes quite complicated as the main character slips between 1997 and decades into the future looking for answers. She meets many of the same people at different ages but with different storylines. Can she trust the version of the future she travels to for answers? What is sure is that everywhere she goes a bloody trail of bodies is left in her wake. An interesting but brutal Sci-fi story.
