I think I might be getting a new author crush. Lol. You know the feeling. The euphoria of finding a new favorite. The urge to rush to the nearest bookstore and wipe out their inventory. Which I tried, my nearest B&N didn't cooperate.

Spin begins with the stars blinking off in the night sky...and that's all I'm going to say. If you plan to read this don't read the synopsis. I didn't read the back of the book until I was a bit into it...and like a movie trailer it gives away some of the best parts. In some ways it works as a mystery. A WTH is going on kind of mystery. Think Lost. But with plot.

The reader follows three protagonists. Our narrator Tyler Dupree who gives us the everyday man point of view. Jason Lawton who follows the science route. And his twin sister Diane who seeks comfort in religion.

I didn't know going in that this is a trilogy (I think) but even so most questions got answered. Take that Lost! However it does end with a...okay can I go too? It just kind of ends in a spot you'll want to continue. And having read the description for the second book I know what not to expect.

This is a perfect example of how I like my science fiction. Not too easy. But don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand. I love being confused as long as the author can rein his or her story in by the finale. I love to think! And I found this, and a short story I had read before by same author, to be reminiscent of my favorites. Asimov. Clarke. Poul Anderson. Loved it.

The rating might should be a 4½ or a 4¾, but coming so close I'm bumping it up.

Highly recommended. Don't know why I waited so long.
