Wow.
I
really like Thomas Locke’s books, but I wasn’t sure how I would like a
techno-thriller. It’s just not my genre,
you know? But man, this guy can write! When you pick up this book, hold on! It will be a wild ride. But so worth it!
It’s
about two teams of scientists in two different parts of the world who are
exploring out-of-body experiences, for very different reasons, and a grad
student who receives advanced algorithm calculations in his dreams. All this techie, science-y stuff is beyond
me, but it was so interesting. It was
also an adventure to figure out who were the good guys, who were the bad guys,
and whom you can trust. It was a book
that I would think about when I was not reading it, wondering about my own
safety in ascending, or would I be able to remember all the details so I could
accurately help the team in its mission.
I
really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. I give it five stars (out of five.) The only disappointment is that the next book
in the Fault Lines series doesn’t come out until next summer, and I can’t wait
to find out what happens next. I
recommend this book to those who like a story steeped in science and
technology. I think guys would like it,
as well as women.
I
received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell in exchange for my
honest review.

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society was such an unexpectedly wonderful book, full of well-rounded characters and inspiring stories of courage under hardship during World War II. I really didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did as I don't typically care for books written in the form of notes or letters but picked it up anyway on the recommendation of a trusted friend. So glad I did!!
