Interesting ideas if a little slow March 28, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I read this book with interest in the hope of finding a new author having exhausted my current list of authors and having re-read my whole collection to death.
Against Gravity started off well with a nice hook and some interesting mysteries, however I found myself skipping pages to keep the action moving. Things start to hot up towards the end but when I actually got to the end of the book I thought the last page must have been torn out. I was quite disapointed at where the author saw fit to end the story. Recommended if you have nothing else in your "too read" pile
Good, but suffers from a disappointing ending. January 3, 2007

Kendrick (the hero of the story) is in the wrong place at the wrong time as the USA falls apart. He is captured, tortured and finally used as an expendable guinea pig for military enhancements in ward 17. All the inmates of ward 17, ended up with an unexplained connection to a failed space station, tasked to find God. Now the whole world seems to be after them...
The book tells the story by swapping (rather confusingly) between different times of Kendrick's past.
It's a good book that holds your attention well, but has a rather disappointing ending.
