I absolutely loved this, while it was an easy read, it still captivated me and I couldn't put down the book, especially the last third. I have to agree with the way the author described himself as being more Joss Whedon than Ray Bradbury. It is an easily accessible sci-fi novel. The size may be intimidating to some, but the easy of reading easily makes up for this. Basically the entire novel takes place in a parallel universe, which split from our own during an event which forever made the two almost unrecognizable from the other. They use something called tempis, more or less a force which they can control, for just about everything, from running faster to creating barriers to flying cars. The group with we follow were all in the same general area when they passed to the other universe and form a group and develop their talents, in order to eventually, hopefully save this universe. Their talents range from running faster, turning their body into tempis, passing notes through time, aging or de-aging objects and things, projecting things from the past, or lastly being able to follow strings and see the future. All of these are very well depicted in the novel and I won't explain them here.
I would suggest this to anyone who is not well versed in science fiction or are new to the genre as a whole. This is also going to become a series of novels, with the second one being written currently, something I can't wait for.
