Xenolith on Feb. 15, 2010

Reviewed by Geliza 15 Feb 2010 Years after the disappearance/death of his wife Liz in Belize, middleaged Frank returns to visit her memorial and unwittingly finds himself drawn into a parallel world. At first, unable to understand the situation he grasps at the idea that his wife isn't really dead, but lost somewhere in this alien land and so begins his search for her. Meanwhile in another parallel a completely different adventure story unfolds. Warriors time-travelling between different worlds via the Xenolith portals some wreaking destruction and death, others just trying to escape. I enjoyed this book, it was as I had expected from the description and it brought back memories of myself as a teenager, dipping into my Dads Astounding SciFi collection. The story was easy to read and moved along fairly swiftly manageing to keep me interested to the end, if this is the end, I suspect that there may be further episodes in the offing. The numerous typos etc did detract somewhat from the enjoyment. I took rather longer than usual to read it due to the fact that this was my first e-book, I'm afraid I found myself longing for the paper page and cardboard spine, so I don't see myself giving up real books in favour of these electronic imitations.
