a gripping and hugely entertaining story that is difficult to solve and even more difficult to put down. - New Scientist At a London university, in 2010, a group of students meet in secret to conduct dangerous experiments that have already cost one person's life. They believe they are pushing the frontiers of physics but their experiments also blur the boundary between what's real and what's perceived - with horrifying results. Twenty-five years on in Manhattan, one of the surviving members of the club lives under a new name, Steel, in a world transformed by the ever-accelerating pace of technology. When a pregnant stranger, Skyler, is dumped on his doorstep with a sinister note, Steel finds himself in a race to restore her memory before they are both killed by an assassin with a terrifying gift. What is Skyler's connection to Steel's past life in London, and how much longer can he protect the world against the secret that he's guarded for decades? He must find out quickly - it is not just their lives at stake - but the very fabric of reality that hangs in the balance. The Looking Glass Club is a fast-paced SF thriller, exploring head-spinning themes in physics and philosophy, and is already being hailed by some as a classic in the making. In addition to being an addictive read, there is a competition associated with the book: solve the cryptic puzzles found between each chapter - left in a diary by a character from The Looking Glass Club - and one reader could win up to 1 million pounds sterling ($1.6m) in a prize competition being funded by book sales.
