The Bone House - Review

"The Bone House" is the second in Stephen Lawhead's Bright Futures series. It carries on the story of a group of people who've discovered how to travel around in time - and skip between alternative universes - using the "ley lines" hidden in our own world. And Lawhead does it better than anyone else, weaving a tale impossibly wide and deep, stretching the reader's imagination in such a way as not to leave you thinking "that's ridiculous," but rather, "Could that happen? What if the world was like that?"

I've not found an author who comes close to Lawhead in his capacity to open up worlds of incredible beauty and colour that somehow still feel familiar, and characters like ourselves to stumble around and discover them. This series in particular I'm finding interesting due to his skill and knowledge in the area of quantum physics, and the way he opens up new ways to think about these fascinating areas. In such areas, we still do not know all the answers, and scientists have to think outside the box to find possible explanations. As Lawhead asks, why shouldn't a novelist enter the conversation?

I'd recommend this series to anyone.
