This is by far one of my favorite reads this year.
Does it start off slow? Yes. Did some of the more intellectual portions go over my head? Oh, definitely. I like science and physics but these fascinating characters are among some of the best minds in the world (and they may be fictional.. but they’re way smarter than me.)
This is the first book I’ve read by Nicholas Binge but I can tell you now—he has made a fan out of me. I loved the writing, the mystery, and the atmosphere. It was, in a way, similar to what I’ve come to expect from Dean Koontz. Dark, intelligent, and intense. I was overcome with a desperate need to understand the strange, yet fascinating puzzle.. it consumed me and I was not disappointed.
I won’t say much else, this is the kind of book you go into with as little info as possible, but I will say that it’s the sort of unpredictable that will have you chasing answers to the very end.

Ooo…a Dean Koontz comparison. That really intrigues me. Excellent review!
Another Koontz fan! Woot! And thank you!
I didn’t think I would enjoy this one as much as I did but it surprised me. If you get a chance to pick it up, I’d love to know what you think.🌹
I love intelligent reads, Sheri, and the Koontz comparison gives a great hint about what to expect. Finding an awesome read is always a highlight. Thanks for the recommendation!
Hey, sorry about the late response.
Dean Koontz has been a favorite author of mine since I was a teen so finding authors that have a similar style is always a treat.
I think you’d really enjoy this one so I hope you get the chance to pick it up.
Thank you and it’s always a pleasure!
I like Koontz even more than king, so I might give it a try!
I have to agree with you. King is a killer author but I tend to be drawn more to Koontz.
