RASL

review 1: The series is starting to build and it seems like it will get more engrossing. Now Smith is getting more into the motives of why RASL, previously Dr. Robert Johnson, left his research. It reveals the background of the research based on United States Military experiments and an obsession of Nicola Tesla. Some of the characters even stop by Wright Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, giving it that extra Ohio flavor. It should start to get really interesting, and hopefully the story will continue to be engrossing enough to overwhelm any logic holes my skepticism about the science might get hung up on.
review 2: Oh, NOW I see where Smith is going with this, or at least more than I knew before. The first volume just hinted at stuff and I got bored... but here he s... moreatisfies my impatience with sections on Tesla, and in case you think he doesn't know what he's about with new physics, he includes a bibliography so you can research the background as he has done, to see how he got excited to go in this direction of parallel universes. The main character is NOT a hero, he's an art thief, he drinks too much, he sleeps around, but he's the best we got... this is not a warm and cuddly series, but one that grapples with the environment and the future... I'm NOT really a sci fi guy like my wife is, but I liked this quite a bit. Think Philip Pullman's multiple dimensions and Wrinkle in Time with a darker edge... like Lost, a bit? less
