[close] The year is 2147 and our protagonist Joel Byram is in a pickle. His marriage is floundering and in an effort to rekindle the romance, he and his wife Sylvia plan a nice second honeymoon in Costa Rica. Sylvia works for International Transport (IT), the company that has commercialized freight and human teleportation. Sylvia leaves work early and teleports to Costa Rica, with Joel to follow as soon as he can get his bag packed. Now Joel has teleported over a hundred times. Teleporting is considered to be the safest way to travel, but a terrorist implodes herself and Joel ends up stuck in New York. All comms are down and a much panicked Sylvia waiting in Costa Rica breaks a very important rule which reveals the secret truth behind the way teleportation really works. This is a really fun Sci-fi read that is filled with inventive technology and liberally laced with slapstick humor. Fans of Jon Scalzi and Andy Weir will eat this one up! Unputdownable fun!
