About the author

My name is Adam Guest, I'm 36 years old, and I live in Walsall, West Midlands, UK, with my partner Sarah, and our two children, Jacob (6) and Jessica (3).

I've spent the last 12 years working as an IT consultant in a niche ETL software. The job paid well, but it required spending significant amounts of time away from home. With two young children, the price is now too high and I'm looking for an alternative career to give me more time at home with my family.

I strongly believe in the Many Worlds project that I'm developing. I think the idea is unique, and this gives me the drive and motivation to work on it. I didn't want to be just another crime writer or just another sci-fi writer, and I didn't want to write something that had been written about 1000 times before; if I was going to try and do this for a living, then it needed to be on a subject that I truly believed in. In Many Worlds, I think I've found that.

I hope you enjoy reading it.

Thanks,
Adam

I'll be the first one to admit that I usually don't enjoy psychological thriller type books, leaning more towards a good fantasy or romance. But this book was SO good. It tricks you in the beginning with all the imagery that seems unimportant, but that imagery is ultimately what makes the whole thing work.

Adam Guest was able to keep all his worlds separate while tying them together, and more impressively, able to make same chunks of dialogue make sense and natural throughout each iteration of the characters' realities. The continuity was *chef's kiss* so satisfying!

I can't wait to read the next one! This may not be in my top favorite of all books I've read, and don't see myself going back a second time, but I will 100% be recommending this to all my sci-fi reading friends, as this is one of the best ones I have read in a long time.

Really good

It is rare for me to read this type of fiction, I hesitated before I choose this book but I am happy I did. The Many Worlds theory says that every outcome is possible when something happens and that you could live each outcome from your perspective. I had to read some of the explanation professor Buzzard provided in the book many times so I wouldn't get lost. Once the other worldline was explained, it all made sense. Then reading the other two worldines and how things changes for Gary's life was very interesting. Each of the worldines have their own ending so you could choose which you like the most. It was very entertaining and enjoyable.
