Description

John Smith began that morning a perfectly healthy man, but before he knows it time freezes during his morning staff meeting and he thinks he's dying. Has his body stopped or has everything around him? When the clock begins to click again, he is trapped in a parallel universe, where he is "greeted" by Joan of Arc and Robin Hood. Trapped in a world inhabited by only Quads and survivors of biological warfare, John becomes entangled in a battle between God or the Devil, Elvis and Napoleon. The fate of the world rests on John putting together the pieces of a cosmic puzzle before everyone in Quad world is forever confined to Hell. Can he discover the secrets of Quad in time? Read more

Weird but good
Format: Kindle
I had a hard time with the start of the book. It was so bizarre! But it drew me in, kept me up reading through the night and took me all the way to the end!

Weird and Twisted
Format: Paperback
If you want an easy read, where you can figure out the ending after reading just the first few pages, then don't get this book. But if you like something complicated, then buy it. I can not think of any other hard-sf novel where you could find Elvis rubbing elbows with Napoleon and Satan. Metzger is one weird and twisted writer. ... show more

My Brain Hurts
Format: Paperback
Like peeling layer after layer away from some globe-sized onion, the mystery of who/what John Smith is, and how he finds himself in Quad World, and just what it is he must do there, is utterly fascinating. Nothing is as it seems, and when you think you've got if figured out, the entire world gets turned on its head. A turbo-speed puzzle that will require you to keep all your neurons engaged. ... show more

Don't waste your money
Format: Paperback
I have read sf for almost 40 years, and I must say that this is one of the worse books I ever read. It is nonsensical, inconclusive, gratuitous, and, above all, boring. Don't waste your money on this book.
