This cutting edge science fiction novel reconfigures the laws of nature and transforms the conventions of love. Read The Cube to find out if love triumphs over control and if democracy vanquishes an evil dictatorship. What drives this story is the relationship of the two main characters: a girl escaping from a classified weapons facility with terrible secrets she refuses to share, and a rural boy who literally catches her when she leaps over the edge and soon learns he is the target of international espionage. The novel is organized around a series of revelations regarding the girl’s secrets culminating with an answer to the ultimate question: who is Celeste?
The Cube has something for every reader. It’s a masterpiece of hard science fiction, with a brilliantly conceived universe of an alternative set of physical laws. It’s a political thriller, full of intrigue and espionage, with one of the most ingenious interrogation scenes ever written in anti-utopian fiction. It’s a steamy sexual thriller, a moving love story. And it’s a mystery that keeps your heart beating fast to the end. It’s the kind of novel that keeps you up late at night, because you can’t wait to find out what happens…
