Science Fiction. It is a Quantum Physics murder mystery. Some interesting observations or speculations on why a person might like physics unique as a murder mystery and as science fiction I was about 43% into the book when the meaning of the chapter titles became clear about 63% through I began to wonder if the Uncertainty Principle may exist in some form in the larger physical world, biological world, or the psychological. If it is a deep part of the nature of the cosmos perhaps it takes some form in every aspect of reality. A very good attempt to make the very difficult concept of Quantum Uncertainty understandable and to bring it into the every day world we are familiar with. |

Endeavour: A Sleeping Gods Novel

Type: Hard Science Fiction A very good "hard science" fiction story. Very interesting ideas. Very well grounded in science fact and no magic technologies. I would have given it 9 stars if there had not been the minor mistakes with proofreading. This story reminds a little of Schismatrix By Bruce Sterling, and Ringworld by Larry Niven, and maybe even a bit of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Those things are positives as the story is completely original and different from those. Another plus is that it does not have all the violence of so many modern stories. The only negative was that the language was a bit sloppy in places, a missing word here and there, a few times an extra word that made no sense, and sometimes the wrong word such as wearily when warily was clearly what was meant. Some of it seemed to be sloppiness but some of it may have been misunderstanding of English or some odd or foreign usage. Perhaps it was just a case of poor proofreading, but that did not detract from the story or the ideas, although it would be nice if those hadn't been there, and I take off one point for that. |

A very good story, well told, and well written. I enjoyed it! Different and unusual. A modern, more complex, and a bit warped follow up to Alice in Wonderland. It is to Alice's Adventures In Wonderland as The Other Log of Phileas Fogg (by Philip José Farmer) is to Around the World in 80 Days. |

Schismatrix Plus
 
[ Kindle Edition ] |
9 out of 10 |
Finished the main story, Schismatrix (74% of the book). The rest is related short stories I think. This is a great story, lots of food for thought. I finished the short stories, the Plus part of the book, and I liked them. They are interesting and take place in the same milieu or "reality" as the main story. |
