The Unity Game starts with dramatically disconnected stories then unites them in fascinating, mystical ways. But what if all of life is a game? A game where worlds are made to be experienced, energy is channeled, and past lives and choices can be checked before new lives begin?
In the Unity Game, time itself is malleable, and events along one time-line only later show their value in another. The whole moves slowly together until it makes its own sort of sense. And Socrates meets the woman from Mantinea.
Soul-mates might mean something more than we’ve imagined, and physical bodies might mean less. But choice is important in this novel, and readers are gradually led, not just to question the choices of the novel’s characters but also their own.
With its curiously intriguing view of life after death, life energy and alien life (very evocatively rendered alien life!), The Unity Game is a novel to savor and enjoy, just like life before death I guess.
Disclosure: I was given an ecopy and I offer my honest review.
