'A must-read for anyone who likes a good science-fiction thriller.an intelligent, exciting story with a brilliant protagonist and a mystery that genuinely surprised me.' -Andy Weir, New York Times bestselling author of The Martian 'A terrific SF mystery.' -Fantasy Book Critic 'A fun, brilliant read. A cunningly inventive mystery featuring a hero worthy of Sherlock Holmes and a terrifying final twist you'll never see coming, The Fold is that rarest of things: a genuinely page-turning science-fiction thriller. And if he's right, it may only be a matter of time before the project destroys.everything. As his investigations draw him deeper into the puzzle, Mike begins to fear there's only one answer that makes sense. Yet evidence is mounting that this miraculous machine isn't quite what it seems-and that its creators are harboring a dangerous secret. And, the scientists insist, traveling through the Door is completely safe. The invention promises to make mankind's dreams of teleportation a reality. Using a cryptic computer equation and magnetic fields to 'fold' dimensions, it shrinks distances so that a traveler can travel hundreds of feet with a single step. That is, until an old friend presents him with an irresistible mystery, one that Mike is uniquely qualified to solve: far out in the California desert, a team of DARPA scientists has invented a device they affectionately call the Albuquerque Door. Sure, the life he's chosen isn't much of a challenge to someone with his unique gifts, but he's content with his quiet and peaceful existence. The folks in Mike Erikson's small New England town would say he's just your average, everyday guy. A page-turning science-fiction thriller from the author of Paradox Bound and the Ex-Heroes series.
