Move over, Asimov, Dick, Wells, Clarke and Bradbury!
There's a new contender, armed with 21st century I. T. and genetics acumen (and mind-blowing imagination), capable of mesmerizing a whole new generation of Sci-Fi devotees--and maybe captivating those completely new to the genre, while grabbing even jaded "veterans" of the genre by the throat!!
"Restoration" is Dan McWhorter's debut and, if it garners the readership it deserves, belongs on the N. Y. Times best seller list, then to movie theaters.
Drawing on his career background as a means of predicting, and expanding on (to an eye popping degree) what technology could do for (but more ominously, to) mankind in the next 50 - 60 years, Mr. McWhorter has constructed a thriller that just screams for a mega-budget Hollywood movie.
But, if it never gets to video, no real loss, because he knows how to project one onto the movie screen of your mind, as you devour page after page.
His plot development flow is fast-paced--not one "stall out", due to yawn-provoking, excessive character development, and boom!--twists you never saw coming.
In other words, this author doesn't mess around with his readers--he obviously believes in letting the plot drive the book, not the characters.
His main characters are so brilliantly thought out, though, that you're never really surprised that they are who he makes you blindly perceive they are--until they aren't.
So, for maximum enjoyment, go along with, but don't trust, the character presentations and think you have the story figured out, indulging in early conclusions. Just suspend your disbelief (if he doesn't involuntarily push that "off" button for you!) and let him pull you along for the ride.
That's all the clues I'll give about this book--anything more will diminish the considerable surprises and traps he's laid for you, as he "peels the onion", layer by layer.
WARNING: do NOT start this book on the night before a workday! You do so at your own risk.
The next thing you know, your alarm's going off, to wake you up from the sleep you never got, and a long, zombie-like day at work.
Schedule your read at a time when you could go for as long as 12 hours, or so.
This guy's prose will subtly generate energy beams up off the page, that lock onto, and hijack, your brain's impulse control section, making it almost impossible to do anything but turn the next page. Bladder calls and/or a rumbling stomach may not register strongly enough to pry your eyes away from the page!
