Instant transportation à la Star Trek sounds like an old school plot point, but Peter Clines puts a new spin on it. But this science fiction novel deserves to become a classic. I didn’t know anything about it except it was sci-fi. It was on my large to-read stack and I more or less selected it at random. I went into reading this book with absolutely no expectations… which is a bit unusual.
If I tried to describe how this book plays out, it’s part mystery, part classic sci-fi, and part thriller. And science fiction fans should definitely read this book. This author obviously expects his readers to be science fiction fans. Why do the scientists refuse to unveil their work, even after hundreds of successful tests? How does it function? And why does everything feel wrong? Why is this on our bookshelf? Mike Erikson may not be a physicist, but with a high IQ and eidetic memory, he’s uniquely suited to the task of figuring out the Albuquerque Door project. “…the secret to instant travel might not be trying to manipulate the traveler, but rather to manipulate the distance traveled.” To discover the cause, a high school english teacher is brought in. Despite the success, there is an undercurrent of uneasiness. At a research facility in San Diego shrouded in secrecy, a world-changing discovery has been made.
