Lee does a nice job of building the wtf, especially by using a new Breach entity, the Tap. you'll be soooOOoooorry.Īfter the initial rush of bombing the Pres', things simmer on the whole 'Scalar' mystery. I got a totally unexpected great sci fi book that turned a lot of what we thought we knew of the first two books sideways. There IS action, and the tension is there, but there's less running and more exposition and, well. And then holydragonfucknuts did i just READ THAT nuts.Īnd what makes that all the more impressive is that very little of the truly awesome parts of this book are the kind of action cliffhangers that made the first two so much fun to read. and then a bit past the halfway mark things go nuts.

This is a great action-packed science fiction tale that grips the audience from the opening cell phone call Campbell makes to her partner and never slows down as Tangent works a dangerous scenario in which the duet switches from mission recue Paige to save the world. Chase and Stewart believe POTUS or advisors close to the President were behind the assault as the timing was impeccable and though they want to save Campbell, the first priority is to save mankind. What has been seen is a forbidden future. She also informs him of a top secret essence that looks like a dark metallic cylindrical gizmo that opens a window into time. Stewart asks Travis Chase, who was involved in a Tangent operation (see Breach), to assist her in rescuing Campbell. Before she is taken prisoner she manages to contact her partner at Tangent Bethany Stewart. Her motorcade drives away when a precise unit attacks them. Paige Campbell leaves a meeting with POTUS.
