    This book was not sans-seraph...
  

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2021*

It's strange.  This book ("The Fold") is the second book in the (four book) Threshold series but neither Amazon nor Goodreads mention this fact.There are some similarities between this book and the first book in the series ("14").  The similarities are not lazy overlaps but careful tie-ins.  I expect more continuity in the third and fourth books.The main character is Leland "Mike" Erikson who has some super-hero skillz especially when it comes to information: an IQ somewhere north of 180 and an eidetic memory.  These might be a blessing to some people (if they had these skills) but to Mike they're a burden.  It's really hard to write a character like this (or act like this in a movie or TV show) but Peter skillfully never makes a false step.  Mike is plausible and consistent.  He's also generally a nice guy.  We never find out whether he prefers the red or black ants.The story is well written slowly peeling back the layers of the ogre, I mean, plot to show that not all is as it seems.  Mike goes back and fills in the details that the Albuquerque Door project missed.  Like in the novel "14" where a faux-religious cult seeks to turn off the building that keeps a doorway between parallel universes closed, the Albuquerque Door team keeps opening that door to the point where it won't close.  Guess who wants to come to dinner?  Guess who's on the menu?I wish that the Marines had brought a bit more fire power to the battle of the "bugman" and the "seraphs".Seven-legged green cockroaches.  Just saying.All and all, except for the horror elements, a pleasant read.  Now I'm onto his next novel in the series "Terminus"!

    Cool premise
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2015*

The basic premise is that the main character is one of the smartest guys ever, and he has a photographic memory that he can easily access.The main guy has a friend who works for DARPA, and the friend has been trying for years to get the main guy to help him on some projects. The main guy says no because because he’s happy being a single high school history in the northeast. Clines tries to explain this in that the main guy is like Sherlock Holmes’s less ambitious brother, Mycroft. It feels like a hand-wave, but the framing device is used through the book, it is in fact why the main guy is called “Mike” in the book.So though he keeps saying “No,” in the book the friend has a project so cool that it cannot be refused. The project is that one of the world’s most famous scientist is working on a teleportation project. Actually the thought is that they are folding reality so that different parts of space time are close and allows someone just to walk through these gates. MIke is signed up to observe and see if these people should continue receiving funds from DARPA.Cool premise, and needless to say, there are complications. It becomes a well-told, nicely paced thriller thing after 150 pages of exposition. Then it wraps up.Then there’s one more section that takes what had previously happened and sets it up for a sequel, and it is really annoying because the add-on at the end cheapens everything that came before it. It looked like the book would be a self-contained arc, then these new mysterious characters are introduced and Mike has to make a choice (along with his unrealistically portrayed lover interest - why is that necessary?) to join this mysterious group and you know that there’s going to be more to this story. Why can’t authors keep a world in one book?Couple of things. This is the first book of Clines I have read, and it is well done enough I will seek out others. I stayed up too late reading it more than once, so he can tell a story. But he does lean on some devices and descriptors too much. The main guy gets hurt at the end of the book, and his pain is described as “hooks” in his body an infinity too many times. There’s also how he describes his main character’s photographic or “eidetic” memory. He uses the imagery of ants carrying photos for him to review. It gets to be too much and  a distraction from the story itself. The device of the photographic memory is well done for the most part. Though I’m skeptical of the actual existence of memory working as Clines described it, it does not make the character too robotic. There are also places where it is used to humanize the character, so it works. It was basically background like if someone was in a book that has a mech suit with cameras and a powerful computer. Same thing basically. I wish I had marked the page, but I like that they lampshaded the whole thing in a conversation. Mike is explaining his mind, and another character says something to the effect of “I thought that was only in science fiction stories”.

    Good, but kind of no ending
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2023*

This book has what I call a series ending, it doesn’t end in the traditional sense, there is real closure but more like a tea up to another book, which from what I know, doesn’t exist.So that’s pretty annoying. Also, I feel like the phase, Say less, certainly applies to this novel. Do I need 10 pages for people to see something scary and leave the area? Not really, this writer tends to over write and then over complicate endings/conclusions. Everything doesn’t need to go wrong in the last 5 minutes of action, like we don’t need 5 new points of drama to get the characters to destroy the flex capacitor (not a thing but trying to avoid spoilers).I will say he isn’t a terrible science fiction writer in that he has a decent grasp of theory which can make the book more interesting since there is a small basis in real.As for recommendations, I liked the concept and would read the series of it continues. Which is doesn’t, as terminus isn’t really a continuation with these main characters, but a story in the same universe. That’s annoying and a bummer as I really want to know the rest of Nate, Mikes, Jamie, & Veets story. Let do that instead of just random snippets or this anthology model that he has going on.It is what it is. Fun read, annoying ending, entertaining enough that I can’t quit it.-
