Mosaic by Evan ManderyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A good detective story gets my attention. So does a good science fiction story. "Mosaic" provides both, not in some clumsy mashup but in a smart, thought-provoking way. Without giving away too much, the deterioration of our environment has continued and the damage has compounded. At the same time, a system called Mosaic is developed that, through computer advancement, allows people to disappear into another time--a better time--or so it seems from the perspective of the users.
In this alternate setting, someone dies. And in the real world, too, but did the death in Mosaic cause the death in "the real world." And is the death an accident or a murder? If it's a murder, who is the murderer? Into this steps a police officer with a checkered past and demons with which he's wrestling.
There aren't a lot of really smart, inventive stories, whether crime or sci-fi, out there, but this one was great. Entertaining, thought-provoking and well-written. Grab a copy!
