Review by Mirrow Wise -- Worldlines by Adam Guest
[Following is a volunteer review of "Worldlines" by Adam Guest.]
Gary Jackson dreams that he intentionally murdered somebody. Waking up from that fantasy of his, he does not give two thoughts to what he did in his dream. After all, it is just a dream, right? Nobody really got hurt, right? Wrong. He comes to the realization that what he believed was just a dream might, for a fact, had actually happened in real life, but in a different worldline or reality. This realization forces him to find ways in which he can right his wrong before the person whose body he used to commit the crime goes to jail.
Worldlines, which is the first book in the Many Worlds Novels series, was exceptionally edited. It is good to know that whilst Adam Guest, its author, paid attention to details and researched [extensively] the theory he writes about, he also made sure that whoever did the editing did a perfect job. Apart from that, this one-of-a-kind novel is one of the best science fiction novels that I have read in a while. Even though I do not believe in the multiverse or many worlds theory, I found the storyline so interesting that I could not stop reading this book till I flipped the last page close. This can be said to be one of the things I like best about the book. The way the theory was even explained was so detailed that I even began to entertain thoughts of the possibility of this theory being fact.
As for negative points (or things to dislike) in the novel, I did not see any. Some people may argue that the repetition of events is annoying and bad, but I will argue otherwise. I believe that although said redundancy added more pages to the book, it was absolutely necessary to understand the story being told. This is because these events all happened in different worldlines and they all had different outcomes. It would have been unwise for the author to just merely reference those events and jump to the outcomes. It would have been unprofessional even. It would have been wrong. So, I excuse the redundancy. On that note, I will have you know this novel does not have even one negative feature as far as I am concerned.
I have decided to give it a rating of 4 out of 4 stars for the way this work of fiction impressed me beyond words. It was so interesting that for a moment I forgot that the story is mere fiction. I even almost became a believer in the many worlds theory. The beautiful editing that left not a single error in the novel is also a determining factor for my decision to rate this book that high.
Readers who enjoy reading science fiction novels will appreciate this one. The book is even more suitable for those people that believe in the many world theory. You will have your mind, soul, and body immersed in the way that Adam Guest explains this theory to reflect his understanding of it.
