Reviews
"Taking place against a kaleidoscopic backdrop of Earth's past, present, and future--not to mention dimensions somewhere in between--the novel is a wonderful, stand-alone statement about the resonance of history, memory, and love. But for attentive, longtime fans, there are Easter eggs that reference many of his past novels, including The Prestige, which only adds to the grand intricacy of Priest's multifaceted vision." - AV Club Best Books of 2014 "Incredibly detailed and vivid." - Lit Stack "Priest dabbles in a puzzling, intriguing work worthy of the sort of highbrow magic act it endeavors to perform." - Leviathyn "A great read." - ScienceFiction.com "When The Adjacent finally explodes into a head-spinning blast of blurred reality, Priest contains the fallout -- then he orchestrates it all a stunning denouement, one that readers accustomed to his unforeseen-yet-inevitable twists might not even be prepared for...Priest hides the answers to his metaphysical mysteries just up his sleeve, waiting for the most jaw-dropping time to spring them." - NPR "Christopher Priest is very talented when it comes to telling stories and "The Adjacent" is no exception." - Imp Mag "A fascinating writer." - Big Shiny Robot "Interesting fantasy." - City of Films "Unraveling it all is completely fascinating." - San Francisco Book Review "Science and magic, as in many of Priest's works, are combined and focused together into a strange amalgamation of cold emotion and fiery passion creating a hurricane of a book." - Geek Girl Project "A gripping novel." - Project Fandom "Featuring the twists, turns, and puzzles we've come to expect from Priest." - Barnes & Noble Book Blog "A chiller...meant to disturb." - Wall Street Journal "all visions, illusions, mystery"...."a chiller...meant to disturb" - Wall Street Journal "Stunning." - Locus Magazine "Priest knows exactly what he's doing -- and is doing it brilliantly" - Chicago Tribune "A wonderful piece of fiction, an intricate puzzle that asks the reader to pay close attention and to read not just the text, but the subtext and its implications" - Booklist "An absorbing and complex yarn of altered realities and twisted timelines, where nothing is quite as it seems ..."

SCIFINOW "Intoxicatingly freewheeling." Metro "Thoroughly engrossing, and throughout Priest's scene-setting is impeccable. His descriptions of the workings of Bomber Command in the WWII section are worthy of Len Deighton. In the futuristic strand, he ... creates a mood of oppressive menace."

Synopsis
In the near future, Tibor Tarent, a freelance photographer, is recalled from Anatolia to Britain when his wife, an aid worker, is killed--annihilated by a terrifying weapon that reduces its target to a triangular patch of scorched earth. A century earlier, Tommy Trent, a stage magician, is sent to the Western Front on a secret mission to render British reconnaissance aircraft invisible to the enemy. Present day. A theoretical physicist develops a new method of diverting matter, a discovery with devastating consequences that will resonate through time. Shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award for best science fiction novel of 2014.

The seller met two out of three categories I look for when judging my purchasing experience: how well it was packaged, how quickly it was shipped, and how properly it was described; this seller provided prompt shipping and an accurate description, but failed when it came to packaging. The item arrived in a plastic bag without any reinforcement or protection whatsoever and suffered dinged corners on multiple fronts.
