Sci-Fi Challenge 2012
Like so many novels, this one is full of symbolism and connections, and I enjoyed it for that reason. But it’s also really entertaining. I felt like I could have been sitting by a campfire listening to someone tell a story. There’s hardly a moment of boredom, if any, and it’s a great book to carry on your Kobo and sort of reminded me of Angels and Demons (maybe it’s the eyeball thing).
Like always, I don’t want to give it all away, but in a nutshell this novel is about an organization which has existed for a very long time to hold assets (money, memories, and wisdom) for its customers after they pass on - and return again - in a new form but with the same soul identity. Proof of this identity is in the eyes (which are as unique to each individual as a fingerprint). {You can imagine how things could go really wrong!!}
Mr. Waverley is handsome and charismatic, and he’s the one who must save the organization from a takeover by worldwidesouls (kinda like the illuminati or new order) – and, of course, he has to rejoice with a little romance in between his security analysis and travels to India to visit a Buddhist temple and such. He’s actually a great character and seems like a swell guy to hang out with. I liked all the characters, come to think of it. There’s a fortune teller, a really hot female Russian programmer, and others!
Another fun novel. And my second e-book.
