New Novel, 'The Eddy,' Is a Mystery in an Alternate Universe
(firmenpresse) - ATLANTA, GA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/21/12 -- Physics meets imagination in author Eli Just's
novel, "The Eddy," (), a supernatural mystery
rooted in the real-life theories and experiments dominating today's science
headlines.
"With the Large Hadron Collider closing in on the 'God particle,'
everyone's talking about physics and what it might teach us about the
universe, including whether there are alternate universes," says Just, a
former history teacher who enjoys studying physics.
"These advances get people thinking seriously about our universe and
suddenly, anything's possible," he says. "That's why TV shows like 'Lost'
and 'Fringe' developed such big followings. We no longer take for granted
the world as we see it; alternate or parallel universes may well exist."
His novel imagines just such a scenario, with a little mystery and suspense
thrown in. It opens with Linda, the mother of a teenager who's a New York
City shop-owner struggling with post-divorce emotions. When a customer
comes in and insists on taking her to lunch, Linda finds herself led to a
strange little restaurant, The Eddy, where her mysterious lunch date
abruptly leaves her.
The lone diner, Linda is trapped in The Eddy for what feels like weeks.
She's served meal after delicious meal and glass after glass of sweet wine
until she finally manages to escape, only to learn she's been "gone" for
only an hour.
She immediately runs into an old college flame, Paul, whom she hasn't seen
in years. The two quickly realize they've both been to The Eddy -- and they
don't know anyone else who has. While Paul, a physicist, is bent on finding
the place again, Linda has no wish to return. It's too frightening!
"The Eddy is like the eddies you see in rivers," Just explains. "It's a
little world of its own moving around on its own through our universe."
Like the real-life physicists madly searching science for answers to
questions about our universe, Paul realizes The Eddy may give him the key
to the biggest prize of all:
