Book description
Dr Edward Kitchener, a brilliant researcher into quantum cosmology for
the Event Horizon conglomerate . . . but no good to anybody now, lying
dead with his lungs spread out on either side of his open chest. The
security system at Launde Abbey was premier-grade, yet a mercenary could
still have got through, and plenty of people anxious to stop Kitchener's
work would pay the killer's fee. But why would a professional waste time
in ritually slaughtering the target? Event Horizon needs to know fast,
so Greg Mandel, psi-boosted ex-private eye, is enticed out of retirement
to launch himself on a convoluted trail involving confrontation with a
past which - according to Kitchener's theories - might never have
happened. 'I cannot recommend this too highly' IAN McDONALD 'Peter
Hamilton manages a very neat trick, combining deft scientific and social
speculation with the page-turning appeal of the best thrillers' TAD
