This is a sci-fi thriller suitable for young adults and up.
Pop travel is the way to go. Jump into the transmission dock
and your body is transported piece by tiny piece to the receiving dock;
wherever in the world you want to go! A private investigator (Cooper), is
begged by a client to find his fiancée after she vanished when using pop.
Cooper digs deeper and finds a number of other disappearance - which
authorities claim never had any connection with pop. The FBI puts an undercover
agent onto Cooper but little does she know she will soon land up in a world of
lies, spies and a big surprise. Maybe the vanishing allegations have some
substance after all...
This is a very clever plot for a novel - the idea of
teleportation has been around for ages and the question of exactly how it's
done has been given a possible answer. Cooper is a great character, even if a
little too trusting. Geri's part was written very well and I could imagine her
laying on the fake accent thickly. What I found a little annoying though, was
that at times the characters would say something completely out of context and
was just silly - there was a major difference between the comfort of the
writing and the next minute a stark contrast which had me bewildered. It didn't
happen often though which was a good thing.
A solid story with a lot of action and intriguing plot. Very
enjoyable.
