Awake

by Scott C. Smith

Driven by grief and insomnia, Charles Matheson struggles with his day-to-day life, until one day he discovers a portal that takes him to another world, a world almost like our own. In this world he is pursued by a government agent who has a history with Matheson -- a history both men have long forgotten. Matheson has also forgotten that he has an incredible power: the ability to move through space and time with just a thought. As he learns more about his power, he uncovers a conspiracy reaching to the highest levels of government, with his very life at risk as he tries to come to grips with a power that can change the very fabric of space itself.

As a fan of the concept of time travel, worm holes, portals, etc, etc, I thought I would give this a try. Sadly, it is lacking in most areas. No depth to the story or characters, no discernible plot, no thrills, no suspense, no mystery. Need I say more? Other than it was totally confusing. Perhaps those that are really into this genre may find it ok, but this read like a child's book to me.

An interesting story of a man who slowly discovers he has amazing abilities. While it seems like he overcomes obstacles too easily, I feel the real story lies in his discovery and exploration of his abilities, and it was interesting that his biggest threat was not others with similar powers, but a man with none.
