HTML:Unspeakable horror is unleashed in this riveting thriller from the international bestselling author of Dark Visions and Hunter. In an experiment to discover what secrets are hidden within the infinite vastness of the galaxy, scientists create a machine so powerful that it rips a hole through space and time. But instead of revealing the dark world of their own universe the machine opens a gateway to a universe infinitely more horrifying . . . and infinitely evil. After seven physicists vanish during a routine test of the highly guarded Hadron Super Collider in Geneva, a series of grisly murders also begin at the facility and an elite squad of American military operators are dispatched to discover the truth behind the hideous slaughter. Meanwhile, the sister of a missing scientist hires a mysterious, powerful stranger known only as Isaiah to discover the fate of her sister. Working against time, the two teams risk everything in their quest to learn the insidious truth behind the most dangerous machine in the world, and soon find that the Super Collider did not just open a gateway to the furthest reaches of the galaxy: It opened a far more terrifying gateway, for it bridged the gulf between Earth and Hell . . .

I do not know what some authors (**cough** Dan Simmons - Song of Kali **cough**) have against Hinduism. I am an atheist but I hate it when people abuse the belief system of other people and get it wrong at that. Shiva is the male God of destruction, not a crazy-bi*** as Mr. Huggins describes in his book. Shiva is worshiped by billions all over the world and the casual way the author draws comparison to Satan is truly disgusting. I mean, get your facts right before writing a novel and even if you get the facts wrong, do not make up theories that go against the facts. Shiva is a benevolent God who confers liberation (through destruction of the ego, not the world and is therefore called the destroyer) according to Hindu beliefs. There are many evil figures who could have been used but just for convenience (as a statue of Shiva was installed in CERN) making up your own theories is vile and not deserving of a good author.
I was very excited about this book, but right from the beginning it felt off the mark. Basic mistakes like calling electrons (at least in the universe we occupy and as of the moment I am writing this review) positively charged, added to the vague descriptions and explanations about neutrinos, conspiracy theories about CERN and the racism led me to not finishing this book. I made it up to 22%. The science is stupidly wrong and the racism is disgusting. Do not twist facts to suit your narrative. If you are a good author make the facts work for you. I do not recommend this book. ( )
