What an exciting book! From the very first the reader is dropped into the action, and the mystery surrounding Vincent. This is science fiction like it is meant to be and I could so see this on the big screen (some of the special effects would be awesome). The characters are wonderfully drawn. I really enjoyed them and their interactions, all the while rooting for the developing relationship between Vincent and Ella. There are some sad moments, but I don't want to give away any spoilers. The book is vibrant and full of surprises. The author takes the reader on a whirlwind of new discoveries and forever changes the lives of the characters in it. Kudos, Mr Leon. I'm looking forward to reading more of your work. 4 STARS
Read an Excerpt
Vincent's mind separated from its familiar place, leaping from his body like a freed jaguar. He studied the movement of sight and sound around him, aware of every vibration and photon. The carriage was ablaze with the chaotic movement. Then he heard the blast of the train's horn in the distance, and his call to ride the storm. More by reflex than by thought, he moved his focus from the inside of the carriage to the unprotected surge of energy building in front of the train like a concentrated pulse of wind.
