Lockstep

I’m not even going to bother searching my own site to see how many times I’ve used the phrase “rollicking adventure” in a book review, because I’m sure the answer is “bunches”. But hey, I like a rollicking adventure. And Lockstep delivers, in the context of an incredibly ambitious scifi idea. Toby McGonigal wakes up from an accidental hibernation of 14,000 years to discover himself in a human society that is only 40 years older than his disappearance because the entire society uses hibernation to jump years into the future. And, in huge news for me, it’s a stand-alone book. Remember those? It’s not the start of a trilogy or a quadrology or anything.
