The Fold by Peter Clines




STEP INTO THE FOLD.
IT’S PERFECTLY SAFE. 

 Anytime someone tells you something is perfectly safe, you should run in the other direction as quick as you can. When someone says they have invented a way to travel long distances in the blink of an eye, you should run even faster.

In "The Fold"  Mike Erikson, a teacher with a unique gift for remembering everything is called in to evaluate a top secret teleportation device. The Door allows a person to travel long distance in a blink of an eye just by stepping through the doorway. The scientists swear it is safe but they won't tell anyone how it works. Once Mike learns the secret behind it all, its a race to save the day.

The Fold by Peter Clines is a fun science fiction novel. I read it in less than two days. I found the characters to be likeable and humorous. While I am not a scientist, the science behind how The Door actually works made me cringe a little. I am a big science fiction fan so it didn't seem possible to me, even for fake science. That aside, the story was enjoyable and kept me turning the page dying to see how it would all play out. I will definitely be reading more of Peter Clines' works. 

I definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes science fiction.
