From the author of THE ORIGIN MYSTERY – the trilogy with ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD. En route from London to New York, Flight 305 suddenly loses power and crash-lands in the English countryside, plunging a group of strangers into a mysterious adventure that will have repercussions for all of humankind.

Struggling to stay alive, the survivors soon realize that the world they’ve crashed in is very different from the one they left. But where are they? Why are they here? And how will they get back home?

Five passengers seem to hold clues about what’s really going on: writer Harper Lane, venture capitalist Nick Stone, German genetic researcher Sabrina Shröeder, computer scientist Yul Tan, and Grayson Shaw, the son of a billionaire philanthropist.

As more facts about the crash emerge, it becomes clear that some in this group know more than they’re letting on – answers that will lead Harper and Nick to uncover a far-reaching conspiracy involving their own lives. As they begin to piece together the truth, they discover they have the power to change the future and the past – to save our world . . . or end it.

Exciting well written story.

7 September 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is an exciting book. The main characters were so well developed that you could interact with them. The story kept me on edge and continuing on long after I should have put it away. I would read all of this author and highly recommend it. I do not often come across a book that leaves me with the impact that this one did. I enjoyed every word.

fantastic idea well finished

7 April 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The main science behind the idea was phrased well enough to sustain the "suspension of disbelief" required to enjoy a sci fi novel. The one part that grated was the hydro electric generation from water that would have had to have been pumped up again but that was totally insignificant to the story so I hope this is not a spoiler.
Great pace and good inclusion of many intriguing details into a story line more about human nature than the science which is the mark of an exceptional story and why I gave it 5 stars. I recommend this novel and will add this author to my "like" list :)

Probably a better read for older teen-agers

4 May 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is not an expensive read; and nor should it be,. The tale is of high technology linked conversations with dolphins, submarines myteriously translocated across the ocean deeps, catastrophies involving massive ice shifts in the Antarctic, and deeply disturbed security chiefs at the core of government. The linkage of all this mayhem is an attempt at subversive transfers of Earth's water to an alien planet peopled by an advanced probably benign civilisation. It is all a bit too much but may well lend itself to a television mini-series as each episode terminates with an exiting climax. The characters are somewhat plastic and not to be too extensively analysed. The 'aliens' are humanoid so will not stretch the make-up department.,
It should be read as a light hearted and exiting novella not to be taken too seriously.

A nice exploration of what the future may hold.

18 February 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I had to think about 2 star versus 3 star. I gave it three stars because the science fiction is woven around some very serious scientific thinking about what may lie hidden behind the boundaries of our current understanding of particle physics and astronomy. If you marvel at the mystery of Relativity implying that you can travel out into space at great velocity and return younger than your children, this story reveals how such a weird reality can lead to mind-boggling happenings. With a small grain of salt this makes interesting reading and makes one wonder what the future could be like if we manage to eventually tap into the strangeness within Quantum Physics.

Could have ben so much more

24 August 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Once you read The Author's note at the end you'll know why the book is written as it is. But it does not make it better. Warning: spoilers. A big part of the book has focused on the the plane crash, and the rescue of the passengers, which turned out NOT to be the center point of the book. The real conflict has been addressed quite shortly, and solved as quickly. The last part of the book was on the boring side, like zooming out of the final scene. Too much has been described through dialogues, where flashbacks would have been a nice addition. I cannot recommend this book. Additional info: The initial trilogy of the author is better.

Could have ended the story sooner.....

17 May 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Initially I enjoyed this story but about 3/4 through I wished it hurried to the ending. The climax to the story took place about 3/4 through the book and after that point I felt the story rambled on. I won't go into detail about the plot but the story is "time travel" themed and I suppose it is difficult to do that type of story in a unique manner.

Very enjoyable and thought provoking for those who have ever faced a crossroads, as it were, in their life.

12 March 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Thoroughly enjoyed the Atlantis trilogy and enjoyed this book very much as well. Only reason for 4 rather than 5 stars on this rating is that I found it a bit harder to get into than the Atlantis books, which I was enthralled by from the first page. Took a bit longer to get into this for some reason, hard to put my finger on why, but it was well worth persevering with as the story developed well once you knew what was actually going on. Look forward to your next book Gerry.
