Journey though a wormhole... Nothing can go wrong, right?

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2016

When a group of college grads and undergrads manage to create a wormhole, John volunteers as a human guinea pig to test the wormhole before funding is cut. After all, what can go wrong?

In this brilliant short story, we follow along with John on his journey... but where he goes is the real story. Is it a parallel world? Time travel? Or simply distance? I'm left to wonder if the timing of the wormhole is a coincidence...

Well written with enough mystery to keep you pondering the events past the ending of the story itself, this is a fun and interesting story that I will certainly be recommending.

I felt lost during some of the story. I felt like John where the science was way over my head. Despite this, it was a good story and now I want to see what happens next. I don't know if there is a next, but I definitely want to know what it is.
I received this book free from one of the book subscription emails.

This is an interesting short story... don't think I'll be checking out more by this author right now, but maybe in the future

Different than what you will normally read but it is very interesting to see what happens each time that they manipulate the time line . Would have loved for it to be longer and see just where the story was headed. All in all a good read.

Short but well worth reading

I wish this story had been longer. It works perfectly well as a short story, but I could’ve happily indulged in a more fleshed out version. I thoroughly enjoyed every page and was left wanting more. That’s a mark of good writing and a compliment to the author. It's an intriguing story, reminds me of The Butterfly Effect meets the theory of the multiverse. Definitely a good introduction to Christopher Holliday’s work. I’ll read more.

This was an interesting read although it was a bit above my head. I didn't quite understand exactly what was happening toward the end.

Great intriguing short story

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2016

I liked the short story and the future is wide open but seemingly bleak for or naked protagonist. Will he ever make it home or do the infinite threads keep him forever separated.

An intriguing short story that makes you want more.
Well written but in need of many more chapters to gain a conclusion.

Great story that engages the reader immediately and leaves you wanting it to last much longer. Too bad it's only a short story!

Too many unanswered questions.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 8, 2016

Verified Purchase

Lonely is the Night is , as it says, a short story.
Although it was reasonably well written I felt there were too many unanswered questions for me about what was happening. Leaves you pondering whatever happened to him and where it went wrong.
