We left Sarah and Eleanor from Book 2 in a world of truly nightmarish ‘temporal dysphoria’, people and objects popping in and out of different timelines. Now, they are captive under fascistic martial law, labelled as ‘Primary Dissonants’ by baddie time bandits still bent on destroying all free will. ‘Temporal alignment’ has become outright thought control and even ‘total reality manipulation’. The confused population accepts the new regime as better than the chaos that went before.
Sarah, her voice across the airwaves, is a constant throughout all timelines, but she still sees the nightmares of disastrous futures she lived. She reads a forbidden book, which teaches strategy to the resistance. Eleanor secretly develops new technology to disrupt the system. She and Sarah know that ‘consciousness itself resists determinism’. It’s ‘quantum resonance feedback’, and Eleanor knows how to exploit it.
The end is no utopia; democracy is messy, but human, full of the possibilities of all the timelines.
The ‘optimised society’ of New Philadelphia is described chillingly. The techy stuff is great, highly detailed and sounds plausible. The techy workarounds the resistance fighters come up with to thwart the techy oppression are ingenious.
The excellent writing of Books 1 and 2 continues. Fantastic suspense and pace, but interspersed with enough human relationship stuff to give us a breather from all the sci-fi jargon. We would have benefited from some layman’s explanation of the real science—quantum, entanglement, dissonance.

Told with all the immediacy of the first two instalments, this is a strong conclusion to the series. The lead characters, Sarah, Eleanor and Rose, find themselves in a disturbing and dystopian world, where technology is used to monitor everything from a person’s routine to their heart rate or facial expression, even down to Sarah noticing that her finger is sweating as she touches a control panel, and which left me wondering whether this tiny fact would betray her!
The fightback is a struggle between the nature of humanity itself and the iron fist of a totalitarian regime that rejects this reality. Told in the first person and present tense, with everything happening in real time, Sarah’s voice is particularly strong and I found it very easy to follow the action as she articulates her experiences in a very readable way.
