"He sighed. It was a long sigh, weary and worldly-wise. The kind of sigh you could picture God heaving after six days of hard work only to be handed a report by an angel concerning a problem with someone eating an apple." (page 235).

That little detail has Neil Gaiman's paw prints all over it. Good Omens, anyone?

Solid sci-fi with some interesting physical and pseudo-physical concepts regarding multidimensional travel. I think it could actually stand to have been longer, with more exposition and character-building at the beginning.
