“it's a slice of life here, scientific life, as mr. benford takes us on a journey from an important discovery being made, to it's exploration, to it's eventual presentation to the public...only this discovery can save the world. sounds hokey, true, but mr. benford's touch is a deft one, carefully intermingling the facts that carry the story along with the varied personal concerns of the scientists and their significant others. there's megalomania, adultery, showboating, backstabbing, character assassination and that before you even leave the lab! an interesting read undoubtably, seeming more like tradition thriller fiction than science fiction...but there's science in there, yes indeedy do, you betcha. tachyon molecules, wormholes, loops in loops of time, etc., etc., etc. i don't know if i'd care to read it again, though...”
