[Douglas Castagna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting diversion from Mr. Prescotts usual fare. Paranormal mixed with some verifyable facts, and some fast paced action make for a decent read. I was left wanting more, perhaps because I enjoyed the subject matter and a lot was alluded to, but there lacked some depth. Though during an afterword there was a further reading list, fully hyperlinked and all. I read much of Mr. Prescott and welcomed this one, though I would have liked to go deeper into the program (albeit fictitous) that the book is based on.

Lots of interesting paranormal ideas in this novella. Michael Prescott has done his research, and the story is successful. The plot is "out there", and it leaves one hanging for an update on what has happened in the six months to a year Claire and Dan are at the Institute. Chasing Omega was a fun, quick read.

This is a departure from Prescott's usual style, and ventures into a different genre. It wasn't my cup of tea, but I appreciated some of the humor and he surely did his homework on the subject matter.

Hope makes sense.

Hope makes sense.

So often we hear the same tired cynical view. It's great to see hope and life taken seriously as something more than a meaningless by product. All that and a good fast moving story.
