Sara Eerie’s father, William, is a scientist and dies in a mysterious accident involving the Supercollider while Sara is still young. Years pass, and William’s friend and partner Dr. Jonas Andersen can finally go underground and find out what happened.

This feels like a present time story, but there are also advanced technologies that might put it in the future. There is obviously a paranormal aspect to this story, as well as the involvement of the FBI. Sara seems a normal girl, with no particular power. The only strange thing about her is that she keeps having dreams about her father and frogs.

There is plenty of tension and mystery, as well as action and even psychedelic scenes. All the right ingredients for a good sci-fi story. To me though, a good resolution and explanation of the mystery is the most important part. The resolution to this story was satisfying, it’s not anything mind blowing, or anything we haven’t seen many times before. But it was a good solid concept.

There is a big problem of that explanation that I really couldn’t stand though. The title of this series is based on the fact that Dr William and all his colleagues couldn’t finish writing the word they wanted to write because they ran out of time. I can understand that if it’s only written once, but it was all over the laboratory!! How is it possible that all of them were interrupted at the same time they were writing the first 4 letters of the word?

Anyway, aside from that I think this was a nice change from the recent superhero reading I’ve been doing. I really need to read more indy stuff. Luckily a big shipment of TPB is coming from Amazon, all of them non-superhero books. I can’t wait!
