Brian Freeman has proven himself a very versatile author with novels to his credit covering a wide variety of themes. He is a writer who is at the very top of his game and with "Infinite" continues to retain his place with his many readers. The book moves into two distinct areas. One is that of a fascinating psychological story and the other into a theme that is science fiction at its best. The science fiction part is that of the existence of parallel worlds running concurrently with all others. That is the lives of the inhabitants constantly touch on all possibilities that may present themselves. If a person is struck by a car in one existence in another the accident does not occur and events proceed in both worlds dependent upon what has happened. The number of parallel worlds that exist are than infinite and always expanding to cover event changes. Dylan Moran experiences the horrible situation of his wife dying in an auto accident occurring in a major storm. Very much in love with her Dylan allows himself to be drawn into the theory of alternate worlds when he meets a woman on the street who claims that she is his psychiatrist and has introduced him to her work on the existence of multi universes. He does not know the woman and has no recollection of ever meeting her but latches onto the prospect of finding a world where his wife has survived the accident. The reader is quickly drawn into Dylan's transfer into different worlds searching for his wife. The wide ranging action is handled very well by the author with his readers glued to a novel that is the very essence of an all nighter that keeps them reading until a very logical ending is reached. Five stars of course and leaving his readers ready and willing to get his next book as soon as published.

„Love is a four-letter word, but so is hell.“ Dylan Moran lost his beloved wife Karly due to a car accident in which he was also involved. The car crashed in the river and Dylan was able to free himself, however he couldn‘t safe the love of his life, before he lost his conciousness he thought he saw himself standing at the riverbank. After the horrifying accident Dylan is plagued by depression and sleeplessness. He seaks the help from Dr. Eve Brier, who established „The Many Worlds Theory“ it’s from quantum mechanics in physics. The theory implifies the idea of parallel words with endless numbers of doppelgängers. As Dylan participates in the therapy sessions he dives deeper and deeper in the infinite world of his „could have been lives“ and soon things start to take a deadly turn. I really liked this novel it‘s fast paced and action packed, on the other hand the setting was very sinister and dark. The vicious doppelgänger was the best, it gave me the creeps. The whole time I had the feeling I was seeing a movie in my head. This could be the next big movie adaption. If „The Outsider“ and „Recursion“ had a baby „Infinite“ would be the outcome. I will definitely keep an eye out for other books by Brian Freeman. Thank you NetGalley / Thomas & Mercer for providing me with this free e-arc.
