Description

Step into the fold. It's perfectly safe.

The folks in Mike Erikson's small New England town would say he's just your average, everyday guy. And that's exactly how Mike likes it. Sure, the life he's chosen isn't much of a challenge to someone with his unique gifts, but he's content with his quiet and peaceful existence. That is until an old friend presents him with an irresistible mystery, one that Mike is uniquely qualified to solve.

Far out in the California desert, a team of DARPA scientists has invented a device they affectionately call the Albuquerque Door. Using a cryptic computer equation and magnetic fields to "fold" dimensions, it shrinks distances so a traveler can travel hundreds of feet with a single step. The invention promises to make mankind's dreams of teleportation a reality. And, the scientists insist, traveling through the door is completely safe. Yet evidence is mounting that this miraculous machine isn't quite what it seems - and that its creators are harboring a dangerous secret.

As his investigations draw him deeper into the puzzle, Mike begins to fear there's only one answer that makes sense. And if he's right, it may be only a matter of time before the project destroys...everything. A cunningly inventive mystery featuring a hero worthy of Sherlock Holmes and a terrifying final twist you'll never see coming, The Fold is that rarest of things: a genuine pause-resister science-fiction thriller. Step inside its audio and learn why author Peter Clines has already won legions of loyal fans.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Narrator Ray Porter deftly captures the emotions of a group of people who are caught up in a force they don't understand.... Porter ably voices a wide range of characters--from the gruff team leader to the foul-mouthed female engineer and the stammering alien leader. Porter is an affable travel guide on this thrilling trip to a frightening world." ( AudioFile)

Tech mystery with surprising plot twists and turns

Picked up the audiobook in an Audible sale and was pleasantly surprised. Don't think I've read anything by this author before, but I generally like science fiction and I definitely enjoyed the frequent twists and turns of the plot of this one.

Briefly, high school English teacher Mike is finally persuaded to help out his DARPA buddy Reggie by investigating some scientists who are trying to build an instant-travel gate (step in here, step out miles away... or on the other side of the world). And they've actually got it working! But Reggie doesn't know any of the details of why or how, and the scientists aren't talking, just insisting it needs more testing, and Reggie has a hunch something feels weird. So in goes his trusted buddy Mike, with a massively high IQ and an eidetic memory, to try and pinpoint what feels "off" and figure out what - if anything - they're hiding.

Mike is, needless to say, not welcomed warmly by the scientists, but does his best to figure out what's going on and whether there's a problem or whether it's all legit. And the tech really is very puzzling. Clearly it works, but nobody can give him a clear answer why or now ... and then he starts to notice strange things happening also. And, due to his eidetic memory, he actually does notice them, unlike most people who'd just shrug and assume they misremembered. Soon Mike is on the track of a bigger problem and eventually, without going into spoilery details, it seems the fate of the world hangs in his hands...

I really liked the teleportal tech (the "Albuquerque Door"), and the fact that Mike himself is slowly trying to figure out exactly what it is and why, allows the reader to be introduced to concepts at a slower pace without turning into a science exposition dump. I also liked that the plot took several unexpected turns that I didn't see coming, and turned into quite a suspenseful mystery which I wasn't expecting from what I thought was a sci fi tech story. I wasn't quite so keen on the characters themselves; Mike was a bit of a deus ex machina, a flawless hero who can know everything and solve everything due to his magic memory. The other characters were all pretty shallowly drawn. It was nice there were 2 tech-oriented women among the scientists, but everyone was pretty two-dimensional so you didn't really get much acquainted with any of them.

Overall though it definitely kept my attention and I enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot. I particularly liked the implication at the end that multiple sequels could possibly follow... but don't have to, for this book to end satisfactorily.

Couldnt. Stop. Listening.

Seriously, I read the book in two days when it came out and then found the audiobook and died and went to heaven. Like every Clines novel, the Fold is breathtaking. I can't recommend it highly enough. I didn't think it could get any better after I read it and then I listened to Ray Porter narrate and it blew me away. Cannot wait for more! And if you haven't listened to 14 or Paradox Bound yet, add them to your list! They are equally as original and enthralling.

Stopped listening.

The first half is okay but as I got further into the listen, the less I was interested. It wasn't the incessant use of f-bombs (Mr. Cline, sometimes less is more) or the disappointing narration of the usually fabulous Ray Porter; it was inanity of the overall story, especially the further I got into it.

Good story

I enjoyed most of this story with an interesting premise although I've read other multi-verse stories that I found more compelling.
Ray Porter is the best narrator!

Started out so good

The first half of this book is great - suspenseful, interesting and a cool premise.…the second half was uninteresting and confusing to follow. Too unrealistic to even consider. I enjoy scifi but this took it to a weird place. I was waiting and waiting to get to the big twist that I had seen teased. The one that “you won’t see coming”…but then all of a sudden I heard “audible hopes you have enjoyed this program” and it left me wondering what was the big twist??? Such a disappointing ending to what started as a great book. The narrator is one of the best I’ve ever heard!

entertaining read. Not my fave narrator

I enjoyed this story. It's light, entertaining, engaging, fast paced, if a little predictable. The narrator is good, so long as there aren't any female characters to voice. This is the 3rd book I've listened to that Ray Porter has narrated, and while he has a deep vocal bench with variety & nuances for his male characters he has only one voice for all his female characters. Every woman sounds exactly the same. Annoying and sometimes confusing.
