review 1: I won this book in a goodreads giveaway, so I felt required to read it. And it started great. Nice opening scenes and expositions. The idea that a drug company developed a pill that allows you to skip to different dimensions was compelling. But the way it plays out was ludicrous. The author explains how the drug company barely knew how the pill worked--rats would come back deeply injured or not come back at all. Then the first human to experience the drug goes to a horrible place and thus begins the premise of an entirely different culture in a region where the US stands today. The building of this fantasy takes up the rest of the book, controlled, seemingly by the Robed One, who can appear and disappear at will. So much is left unexplained or is so ridiculous that it's un... morebelievable. The plot is hard to follow and confusing at times. In this "fantasy world" where everything is so primitive and people live harsh lies, the hero, Brian, gets his hand chopped off in a medical procedure to remove the "honesty chip" which keeps the population in line. In this primitive world, the drunken doctor doing the procedure slaps a new hand on Brian after chopping off his hand. Miraculously built by the doctor and one of the few techies remaining in this world, the hand heals and is useful just seconds later. Real believable! And now I see there's a full series of this book. Will I be reading the second in the series? Not even if I get it for free.
review 2: I received this book for free from the Goodreads first-read giveaway. I love a book that goes KA-BOOM right from the start and this is one of them. Brian is in a helluva mess and I can't wait for the next book to see what happens. A real quick read at less than 100 pages, you really need to check this out if you are a sci-fi fan. After I read the next 3 books I ,may upgrade my rating to 5 stars. So far it's that good. less
