Zig Zag [Teaser]

I think I found the utopia of science fiction thrillers. This book blends modern theoretical physics with contemporary intrigue in a setting that enlightens as well as entertain. Already into chapter 8, I know I will love this book.

String theory states that everything that exists in our universe (you, me, my pet goat) is made up of infinitely tiny strings that can be found in all four dimensions including time. The theory would make a very poignant argument for science, if it can ever be proven.

Zig Zag extends the current research of time strings into the year 2015, where our future physicists have found a way to glance into the past by taping into the unknown energies of these strings.

The book starts with a suspenseful introduction of our heroine's futuristic world. In essence, nothing has changed - no flying cars, no robots (although some cars are equipped with automatic drivers). Even today's theological challenges still exist, as creationism is still being debated among the scientific community. Luckily, there are still unanswered science questions that drive Elisa (our heroine) into the center of a time travelling controversy.

The author does a great job with establishing a hierarchy between the characters and placing them within a struggling society with modernized philosophies very early in the story, making for a very enlightening read.

So far, this is a good blend of both science and fiction. The book is so convincingly written that I have to keep reminding myself that it is a novel, not a science textbook.

I can't wait to properly review this book. I'll let you know how it turns out.
