![]() The risks of catastrophic economic meltdown are rising. The Masterbuilder is at work on his Masterpiece. I've never anticipated the next chapter in Ellis's work with such eagerness. Ellis is magnificent in developing story, character, and theme here. Mankind's monkey mind of love and hate fools itself again and again even as it's frontal lobes attempt to manipulate higher forms - even the course of time itself. The psychological, theological, and cosmological are approached as a unity in which humanity's false dissection into discrete parts is coming back to haunt it. The violence isn't for comedy or sheer spectacle - it lacerates our reality from the hidden web of atomic structure and archaic human psyche. ![]() The seriousness of the piece really impressed me. As a longtime fan of Ellis's work, this feels to me like he's really putting his familiar ideas and structures together in the most sophisticated and deepest form yet: another multi-level story of a team of extraordinary people facing a cosmic derangement that corrupts both from within and without across time and a space. ![]()
