Time travel, tunnels with slimy things hiding in the dark, desert wastelands with giant bleached bones, and then a land populated by creatures that have evolved to be the new rulers of Earth - where was the kitchen sink?
This is Greig Becks first foray into fiction/fantasy, and I'm glad to see he hasn't totally ignored all the things that make his books fun - some frightening elements, the humor, and the big action and adventure. The world Beck creates is one of wonder - from tiny vampire worms, to the giant forests, and also to the clues as to what happened to mankind and how the new `beings' evolved.
Arnold 'Arn' Singer is pulled into a black hole and hurtled into the future. The moon is closer now, and its light imbues him with the strength he needs to survive in a world that is deadly and beautiful. Two mighty races have evolved who are locked in an eternal war.
I loved the ruthless Colonel Marion Briggs who sends through some kick-ass Green Berets to bring Arn back - no spoilers, but I'll just say, not everything goes to plan! Beck also includes one more new element in this book that I adored... a budding (unrequited?) romance between Arn and the female Valkeryn Eilif - I know its going to make me sad in the end....but fingers crossed!
