A woman with wings that exist in another dimension. A man trapped in his own body by a killer. A briefcase that is a door to hell. A conspiracy that reaches beyond our world. An extraordinary, genre defining novel that begins with the mystery of a woman who barely knows herself and ends with a discovery that transcends space and time. On the way we follow our heroine as she attempts to track down a killer in the body of another man, and the man who has been taken over, his will trapped inside the mind of the being that has taken him over. And at the centre of it all a briefcase that contains countless possible realities.

Occupy Me, Tricia Sullivan (2016) Sci-Fi: Firstly, this is a page-turner. It’s quite bizarre, for the most part well written, and seeded with interesting ideas, some quasi-spiritual, some taken from emergent sciences such as nanotechnology the possibilities of parallel dimensions and universes. Okay, add in a conspiracy mystery with a central heroine, something like Lizbeth Salander, ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ would get involved in, and you have a pretty rich read. Not sure it’s for everybody. A quick look at the Goodreads reviews shows there is a minority that are over-the-moon about it; others dismissive. Terminology you’re a likely to find in comments are “acid-trip” and “psychedelic”. Certainly, kept my attention and I enjoyed it.
