'Circadian Web' - Now Available.

Across four seemingly disconnected timelines, a freelance writer, a Tibetan Buddhist monk, a Latin tutor, and a science teacher, each hold subconscious secrets. Events in their liv Read more of this blog post »

Circadian Web by Alistair Conwell
"As a fan of time-bending, POV-swapping narratives such as Slaughterhouse-Five, Hyperion, Ghostwritten and Station Eleven, I can say that Alistair Conwell's debut novel belongs in the same bracket as his more illustrious peers. I'm not exactly surpris" Read more of this review »
“… a stunning finale … Fans of smart, philosophical science fiction will want to check this out.”
Publisher's Weekly (USA)
“In what is one of the best novels of the year thus far, 'Circadian Web: The Space of Time' is one of those page turners ...

In short, the book is an adventurous read and one that prose-wise stays with you long after you have finished the book and put it down. For me it was the sculpted length and breadth given within the idea of an alternate timeline combined with a highly imaginative thriller-esque core that subtly threads throughout.”

"As the title of this extraordinary novel suggests, the concept of time is an intrinsic factor of its plot. Or, rather, plots. Just as there are four circadian rhythms, so there are four separate timelines interwoven throughout the book. Each one has " Read more of this review »
Circadian Web by Alistair Conwell
"To quote one of its characters, this sci-fi adventure is a "walking bundle of surprises." Conwell offers a deeper meditation on mysteries beyond the time and space in which we (think we) live."

“After all, from the moment of our birth we are all in a sense dying. Each moment that passes brings us closer to the time of our death.”
Alistair Conwell, The Audible Life Stream: Ancient Secret of Dying While Living

“For the truth is that the brain sullies the flow of pure
consciousness to provide us with a physical, but inherently distorted, view of reality. And the
reason is quite simple—the brain cannot deal with non-physical realities so it conveniently rejects these, while necessarily allowing the flow of consciousness to continue.”
