Un grupo de físicos investiga en secreto la cuarta dimensión y la posibilidad de viajar al pasado. Pero el proyecto habrá de suspenderse a causa de la muerte de dos jóvenes investigadores en extrañas circunstancias. Cuando unos años más tarde otros miembros del equipo sean asesinados, los supervivientes decidirán volver a reunirse en la misma isla.

Zig-Zag is one of the best SiF book I read the last years. Based on the contemporary theories of Physics the author gives the opportunity of a beyond the imagination travel to the past in the day of Jesus Crucifixion in Jerusalem or in Jurassic period watching dinosaurs. Science is the safest way to approach the truth but how far can we go? How could we avoid the misuse of scientific discoveries and not to ask ourselves as the the pilot of the Enola Game: "my God what have I done?". Where are the limits of science and morality? Looking the past is a kind of trespassing and as in the ancient tragedy it is a hubris, which causes the anger of the Gods and catharsis comes with the terrible punishment. ( )

J'ai adoré. Il m'a replongée dans mes années Lovecraft (un peu moins terrorisant quand même). ( )

Bon livre, bien basé sur les fondements et les théories de la physique moderne. Accessile, thriller, bien aimé, mais pas livre préféré, trop dans la bulle de cette fausse science. Par contre, intrigue très bien ficelée. ( )

I'm so glad that I decided to do the A-Z Title Challenge because I never would have read this book otherwise. I never pick up thrillers when I'm browsing through books, but now I see that I should have given them a chance long ago. Of course, I can't deny that one of the things I loved about this book was the science it revolved around, specifically the String Theory, which always interested me but which I never took the time to learn about to any great depth. Zig Zag has given me a nice introduction to the physics theory, and it has convinced me to pick up a science book about it sometime soon.

Elisa-what a character! She was too perfect to seem real. A supermodel-gorgeous genius who thrives in science. This is the person I always wished I could be in my deepest and most desirous fantasies.

**Major Ending Spoiler**

I just have to give a short rant about the end. How could Ric have been so stupid?!! No one in their right mind would think that a childhood memory of almost killing your 11-year-old best friend would be "harmless and innocent"! How could he possibly have thought that? Choose a happy memory, moron! How hard would that have been? ( )
