…hard to put down…
Lovers of apocalyptic slow-burn sci-fi novels with a blend of conspiracy and drama will find it hard to put down Bruce Meisterman’s The Light Inerrant. The author bases the storyline on a tale of deceit, betrayal, blackmail, loyalty, religion, politics, conspiracies, science, greed, and secrets. His choice of words gives the book a sharp intellectual tone. The conversations were stimulating and engrossing. The vast number of role players includes hypocritical preachers, cunning politicians, ambitious scientists, information-thirsty reporters, and publicity-seeking bureaucrats. Bruce contrasts the complex personalities involved while maintaining a grip on reality. This made it easy for me to connect with them and follow the plot. Adam Faraday is a super-intelligent scientist with an intriguing perspective of the world. Together with Fran Porter, they form a hungry team that will stop at nothing in their hunt for answers. – Keith Mbuya

…complex…
Bruce Meisterman’s The Light Inerrant is complex. It raises religious, metaphysical, and moral questions about humanity and wraps it up in a fascinating thriller. The characters are introduced in short bursts, much like the pauses in the light, and it takes a while to learn their interconnectedness. He deals with the political world’s underlying corruption and humanity’s fundamental goodness. There are similarities to current global politics, and Meisterman captures the cynicism of many of the power elite. The concept is clever, and I wondered how it would resolve itself, but I wasn’t disappointed. The key players are very believable and reflect recent history. Can the lack of light allow us to see what they are? Is there hope for humanity? – David Cameron
