4.0 out of 5 stars Puzzling but fascinating., Jan 24 2004

By	Beverley Strong (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Savant (Hardcover)

I found this book to be a fascinating, compulsive read but am not smart enough to work out if any of it is even remotely possible..I suspect that it would take a physicist to explain all the references to the harnessing of energies and the use of them to control the atmosphere.I also don't understand the "matter..anti-matter" theories and will almost certainly never do so, but, as a gripping read, I couldn't put it down, so to heck with the technology side of it--truth or fantasy--just read and enjoy !The premise is that a couple of scientists discover the whereabouts of two teenaged savants who can perform kinetic feats that defy logic and see in them, a path to fabulous riches.It's set partly in Iraq at the time of the first Gulf war and partly in England and if your mind can get around the supposition that some minds can control matter, you'll thoroughly enjoy this book.
