Book Synopsis:
From the international bestselling M. R. Carey comes a thrilling novel set in the multiverse – the tale of humanity’s expansion across millions of dimensions, and the AI technology that might see it all come to an end . . .
INFINITY IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
The Pandominion: a political and trading alliance of a million worlds – except that they’re really just the one world, Earth, in many different realities. And when an AI threat arises that could destroy everything the Pandominion has built, they’ll eradicate it by whatever means necessary, no matter the cost to human life.
Scientist Hadiz Tambuwal is looking for a solution to her own Earth’s environmental collapse when she stumbles across the secret of inter-dimensional travel. It could save everyone on her dying planet, but now she’s walked into the middle of a war on a scale she never dreamed of.
And she needs to choose a side before it kills her.
My Review:
Infinity Gate is a fascinating start to a brand new series from one of my favourite science fiction writers.
Firstly the author has created a very interesting world which I enjoyed exploring alongside the characters. The book is set in a world that felt like the near future, where there is life on different planets and the ability to travel easily between them. Some of the new technology mentioned was a little complicated to understand at times but it sounded very intriguing.
The story is told from the point of view of three characters in turn which I thought was a very clever concept as it meant I got to know each of them intimately. I quickly grew fond of them and enjoyed following them throughout the book. I found the inclusion of an artificial character very interesting too and liked watching how they fit into the story.
Overall I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more in this promising series. The story does start off a little slowly as the author sets the scene and we find out more about the characters but picks up in the final part of the book. There are lots of twists to keep me very interested and I absolutely loved the way everything wraps up with the promise of lots more in the future.
Huge thanks to Tracy Fenton for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book via Netgalley.
