Set in the dystopian future of year 2072, Rob Hart delivers a fun, exciting novel, complete with time travel and confusion that will keep readers guessing until the end.
January Cole is the head of security at the Paradox Hotel. This hotel is anything but ordinary. In this hotel, you can travel back in time to any period of history. The catch? You have to have the money in order to pay for your trip. I think “anything but ordinary” is great tagline for this novel because January Cole is the same. Cole is ‘Unstuck’ - a term used to describe those who are not locked into or stuck in one moment in time. Throughout these three stages of being ‘Unstuck’, one can start by feeling deja vu. They can go as far as feeling they’re in a completely different moment entirely, then when returning to the true present, they realize no time has passed since slipping into this Unstuck period. Is it a little confusing at first? Yes. Did I do a horrible job explaining it? Definitely.
The books was phenomenal. I’m also a sucker for a good first-person POV story, and this was as well written of one as I’ve seen. This book is a murder mystery, but it also is infused with greed, money, politics, and everything in between. As with most sci-fi books I’ve read, it takes a little time to wrap your head around the universe the author created, but once you do, you’re in for a ride. This was as good as any sci-fi novel I’ve read and is definitely one of the books that I read the quickest this year. I thoroughly enjoyed Hart’s last novel, The Warehouse, and this one did not disappoint. If you’ve never ventured into the world of sci-fi, this would also be a great start. It’s a fantastic page-turning joy ride that is anything but ordinary.
