Oh dear, just when i thought it was safe to read Alastair again he had to go and start writing parallel universe nonsense stories once more.

Oh please someone assure me that this is the last of Alastair's delusions that parallel universe stories are any good, or that the theory holds any water at all.   Seriously, it's just utter twaddle.

Anyway, next up in Alastair's publishings will be Terminal World, let's hope that isn't more parallel stuff twaddle nonsense. ( )

Using the same setting as Signal to noise, something nasty happens to Cardiff and the dark side of access to alternate realities is revealed. A weak, one-idea story, very uncharacteristic for this author. ( )
