So here's the thing. I bought this because of the cover. I'm a total Stargate SG1 and Atlantis fangirl, and a bit of a geek. Okay, full on geek and mystic. So much so that one of the nicknames my family has given me is Carter - after Samantha Carter from SG1. Because I'm your goto girl when it comes to tech. But I'm also a geek like Daniel in ways, especially being a member of the Oma Desala fan club. So anyway, the cover, well it reminded me of the Stargate, and that was reason enough to buy the book.
Getting into it at first left me scratching my head, and feeling terrible, so much trauma for a family, then living in a remote area in poverty. That sucked.
The book picked up and took off though and I was completely hooked. The concepts expressed, and the journeys our protagonist had to go through, well they speak all to well to a world we are increasingly finding ourselves living in, weather we want to or not. The way Corporate power and implied ownership of people and our very DNA is brilliant. It's real, it's happening, and there's precious little we can do about it.
But Gabby, she's a fighter, and she's blessed with some extraordinary abilities and circumstances in her lives. Yes, lives. I'm not going to spoil it, but as another reviewer put it, this is like two books in one. And for all the tech, the sports, the science, the PSAs about where our world is heading, there is an underlying message that can't be missed. "When God closes a door, he opens a window."
Gabby's window happens to be a device not unlike a Stargate, only that to get from one gate to another, a gifted traveler can find what lies between. A connection to the mystical, to the realm of moving beyond our limitations into our possibilities. And in this part of the story, and the way Gabby navigates her life is just brilliant and breathtaking. She's a fighter, smart. and sees beyond the limitations some many of us refuse to open ourselves up to. Call it God, or Enlightenment, or whatever fits into your view of time and space, this is where the book really takes off, and Gabby has the chance to have, for the first time in her life, some control of her future. She looks carefully, seriously at the options, and makes hard choices we can each relate to at some level or another.
At first I was disappointed in the way the book ended, because I missed the part about it being book one of three. I'm so jazzed and looking forward to the rest of this story and where the Author takes us. He's doing a wonderful job so far!
