Author David Beshears knows how to deliver quality sci-fi reads. If you are looking for stories that really stand out, Beshears should be on your reading list.
In this story our main character Jake inherits an estate from his uncle.
The interaction in the beginning between Jake and the butler of the home, Mr. Griffin, was well worth the purchase of this book. Both characters are well created and the author captures the personality of each so well that I felt as though they stood in front of me.
Soon in to the story Jake discovers a notebook with entries by his uncle as well as a very interesting hand drawn diagram showing a set of six geometric figures put into a single one sided form.
If you need to take a break or get a cup of coffee, do so at this point as you’ll be glued to this book moving forward.
Following the information he read in the notebook takes Jake on an intriguing adventure. I’m not divulging much as I don’t do spoilers but if you like the idea of parallel universes and a hefty dose of mystery, you’ll want to pick up this book.
There are numerous characters in this story and I found the attention to detail regarding characters and their surroundings to be really well done.
Overall, I found this to be an excellent sci-fi read.

I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book, through Reading Deals, so I could give an honest review.
It was okay. There were a few grammatical errors here and there, but not too many. It felt a bit juvenile sometimes and the characters could be better with a bit more dimension added to them. Overall though, it wasn't bad. It reminded me of Michael Scott's writing.
