The ideas are always great but somehow it's still far from being well-developed. At times it's confusing and it's hard to follow the plot properly. I'm gonna stick with it tough, beacuse Scalera (an italian, ah!) is wonderful, and I'm hopeful the writing will improve.

Meet the new volume, same as the old volume. Happy to buy the whole series in used-but-great condition for $7 a pop if for no other reason then filling out my new bookshelf.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes

As I like to describe it to my customers, "Remember that TV show 'Sliders?' It's basically 'Sliders' but much more nihilistic. The pointlessness of everything is echoed by one of the characters saying 'How can anything matter when every possible thing happens?'" But I have hope for the survival of some of our heroes. and even if they don't I'm going to be entertained.

Story does not get any better for our heroes. While still at the mercy of the Pillar for their next destination it seems that there are some side-effects to all of this parallel-universe-hopping. It seems that Pillar plays a very important religious role in some of the worlds but how is it possible when the very first Pillar device was built by Grant's team?
Excellent story, becomes somewhat convoluted as it progresses. Hopefully some of the lose ends will be tied in the follow up books.
Recommended to all fans of SF action/adventure stories.

The group is stranded in one dimension of the multiverse where we see the full scope of the series. It is quite amazing how complicated this series can be with crossing timelines and dimensions. Very interesting story that does not get any less complicated but only keeps on building subplots.

Not quite as compelling as Volume 1, but entertaining to say the least. I love deep sci-fi like this and think it’d make one hell of a movie or miniseries. My only gripe is that a lot of the characters look them same, so you end up getting them mixed up—but, really, this is a small gripe.

Got a little confused around the middle of this one but then started to remember what was happening. Again it was one long chase scene but what a wonderful chase. The art is amazing in concept and execution. In true Remender style there was an ongoing interior dialogue. Unfortunately sometimes I wasn't sure who was talking.
I also don't like the infinite versions of a person thing. It's kinda like time travel and I hate time travel in fiction. It can be used as a cheap plot device and can be really confusing. He doesn't seem to be totally abusing it here so I hope he keeps it that way.
