Wow! I am not a fan of most science fiction, but this grabbed me from page one. It is the story of a flight that took off in 2014, but crashed in a very different place. I downloaded a sample for some reason, thinking that I wouldn't make it past page ten. I couldn't put it down once I got involved with the characters and immediately downloaded the book in its entirety. Riddle makes each character come alive as we read chapter by chapter in different voices. I want to know Harper Lane's back story as soon as she is introduced. Nick Stone, an American, seems in control from the start. Sabrina Schröder, a German scientist doesn't seem to realize what is happening, and Yul Tan, a Chinese-American computer scientist introduces us to an invention that does more than he ever imagined.
While some of the concepts that Riddle introduces seem difficult, his way of explaining them make us understand more than we imagined we would. The book makes the reader think, and that is my favorite kind of book. Should we strive for the future or just enjoy the present? Should we face possible death in an effort to save others or just be thankful that we survived.
If you are a Science Fiction fan you will love this book, but even if you are not, it is one of those books that bridges the genres. Like Crichton, Riddle has a way of introducing concepts and characters we want to know more about with each page we read. I think it definitely deserves a place on your bookshelf.
