You can't create a world in seven days without cutting corners . . . and it is very dangerous to notice the flaws in the design
Graham Smith is a 33 year-old office messenger. To the outside world he's an obsessive-compulsive mute � weird but harmless. But to Graham Smith, it's the world that's weird. And far from harmless. He sees things others can't . . . or won't. He knows that roads can change course, people disappear, office blocks migrate across town. All at night when no one's looking. The world's an unstable place, still growing, sloughing off layers of reality like dead skin. One day you drive by, and it's changed.
Annalise Mercado hears voices, all from girls calling themselves Annalise. Sometimes she thinks they're spirit guides, sometimes she thinks she's crazy. But then they start telling her about Graham Smith and the men who want to kill him. That's when they meet. So begins the story of two people whose lives are fragmented across alternate realities. And how the hold the key to the future of a billion planets. . . .
About the Author
Chris Dolley was born in Bournemouth, England on September 30th, 1954. Several attempts to educate him were made by staff at Winton and Moordown, Bournemouth School and, finally, Plymouth Polytechnic. But he was too fast, graduating at the age of 20 with an honours degree in Geography. In 1974 he formed the Free Cornish Army, who declared Cornwall an independent nation. The humor Punch called the affair a "splendid hoax." After 13 years as a computer programmer for the Home Office, he founded Randomberry Games in 1981, probably the first UK computer game company. In 1995, Chris moved to France, and he and his wife now live on a farm he has renovated in the Normandy-Maine Regional Park. In between the plumbing and roofing at his new home, he appeared in the films Joan of Arc and Sade, though his role in the former ended up on the cutting room floor (he hopefully awaits the Director's Cut). His mystery novel An Unsafe Pair of Hands was short listed for the Sara Ann Freed Memorial Award for best first mystery.

Product ReviewWow! This was truly amazing. The universe was complex and interesting. The philosophy was interwoven perfectly with the rest of the story and the characters were great. Good enough to read twice and I don't do that very often.

Product ReviewI wish I had back the time I spent reading this book. It's not often I seriously contemplate permanently suspending a book once started; I'd sooner walk out of a movie (I have several times). As it was, I had nothing else to read so I finished Resonance. Would that I had something else to read at the time.

Product ReviewResonance takes a unique view of multiple universes. The "scientific" underpinnings of how universes interact provides excellent suspension of disbelief.
The characters are portrayed well, the good and the bad, the strengths and weaknesses, allowing considerable empathy and identification. For the central character, Graham, its a story of emergence. For Analise, the power of determination.
Very highly recommended.
