Alernate Routes
Just finished reading "Alernate Routes" by Time Powers, published by Baen Books.
The first novel of Power's series of fugitives Sebastian Vickery and Ingrid Castine who find themselves plunged into the supernatural secrets of Los Angeles and on the run from a government agency that wants them dead for knowing about the other side.
Alternate Routes STARTS as a "typical" Powers novel - carefully articulated secret world of ghosts and people on the margins of society in this case, on the margins of the freeways, which act as a sort of magnetic field for ghosts. But halfway through it goes off the deep end into a surrealist-metaphysical landscape that combines Greek mythology and oddly simple everyday math.
A Classic Tim Powers Novel!
Strongly Recommended!
Five Stars!
