Customer Reviews

A great read for fantasy/sci-fi fans

"Slipt" starts off rather slow, but the tension constantly builds until its exciting climax - certainly, the payoff at the end of the story is worth it. Foster has created a memorable character in Jake Pickett, and also in the would-be villain of the tale, Benjamin Huddy. The writing style is clean, making for a quick and uplifting read. Definitley one worth picking up.

it was a great book!

I had to read the book for a class of mine and i thought it was a great book, very thought provoking. Jake really plays a tough old guy. i really was starting to hate Huddy!

I couldn't put it down!

I thought that this book was one of Foster's best. He has a way of painting a picture in your mind and the characters come alive. The plot may be a bit far fetched but it's original and your heart seems to stop when the the action is at its peak. I've read most of Foster's work and although I love many of his books, (Splinter of the Mind's Eye, Nor Crystal Tears, Codgerspace...), this one gets a special place in my top 10. I've always wanted to see this made into a movie. God the effects would be great! Enjoy.
