Now there is no way to explain this book, or many of Rudy Rucker's work. However, if you can check reality (or some of it) at the door, there is a great adventure story in each and every one. This one in particular is a thriller/action/adventure but set in the midst of the fantastic realm in Mr. Rucker's head. If you like his work already, you will love this book, and if you do not know of Rudy Rucker, then ... well I am not sure what to say. Give the book a chance. You will have to put some of your predetermined notions about physics, reality, etc. on hold for the duration but I think you might be able to be charmed into a Rucker fan if you stick it out. This is a fun and exciting story.
