If you love sci-fi and dystopian novels then set a reminder for 04 August because you are going to want to get this book. The story has a distinct Mad Max flavour to it, and I had to force myself to not finish it in one day.

This is a world where multiverse travel is common knowledge. A total of 382 parallel earths have been documented but traversing between worlds is a little like playing Russian roulette, every time you travel could be the one that kills you.

If you land on an earth where you are still alive the universe turns you inside out, leaving a bloody heap where you used to be.

So, who then would make the ideal traveler?

Those people who normally do not have a high life expectancy, the grunts, the poor, the ones too small to hide from the runners, the ones who have drug addicted mothers that forget to feed their children.

Enter our protagonist, Cara who is one of the most prized traversers as she has died in all worlds but 8. I loved her character as she was perfectly flawed and complex. Even the secondary characters like Ester, Nik Nik and Dell were fascinating.

There is a lot more nuance than what is the norm for this genre. The pace is fast, and you need to keep up as the story will not wait for you to catchup.

A highly satisfying read I can recommend without reservation.

I cannot wait to read more from this author.
