I've had the privilege of reading parts of Shift as they were written, and I can heartily recommend this book. We follow reporter Pei and her photographer colleague Roy as a simple interview for Wired magazine develops into a complex tale of shady corporation conspiracy melded seamlessly with scifi  in an evocative style. The writing is pacey yet there is painstaking attention to detail and scientific accuracy sufficient to satisfy the most pedantic reader. The characters are well drawn and develop as the plot progresses, and the settings and - without giving too much away - the people and creatures that inhabit them are imaginative and intriguing. I imagine this book will become very popular when published.

I've read a chunk of this book and found it thoroughly enjoyable. I'm excited to get the whole thing and read it through! I found the sci-fi aspects thrilling and despite only reading a portion, I was really invested in the characters.

I've read a chunk of Shift in addition to this chunk and I frankly can't wait to read the whole thing! The science of the dimensions and the characters that inhabit them are beautifully described and thoroughly absorbing. The hard sci-fi punctuated with comedic beats draws me in, but what holds my interest is the characters: Pei, Harrison, Roy. I'm a big fan of strong female protagonists, so I enjoyed reading about Pei's journey. In the short portions I've read, I've already become invested in the characters and want to know how everything plays out for them.
