While Tchaikovsky is spinning this mystery for us, he’s also supplying us with vital information in the form of interludes called excerpts from the book Other Edens: Speculative Evolution and Intelligence by Professor. Seeing a woman who has been missing, presumed dead, show up at the scene of a violent incident involving one of the UK’s top scientists, leads Sabreur to Lee to find out what she knows.

Khan’s personal security cameras he starts his own personal journey down a very narrow and twisted rabbit hole. When Sabreur discovers the missing Mal and a very large, almost inhumanly large, companion on Dr. Khan, and when a white supremest attack on her apartment goes seriously wrong – the attackers are all beaten to death – we start to find out about the non-governmental forces who want to make use of Dr. Unfortunately the government aren’t the only people monitoring Dr. Her work is considered sensitive enough she is constantly being monitored by the United Kingdom’s (UK) security forces under the careful watch of Julian Sabreur, a stolid and very middle of the road intelligence officer. Kay Khan, has recently begun to theorize there are not only multiple realities, but the fabric between them is wearing down resulting in holes allowing ‘others’ to slip through. While this is happening a top British scientist, Dr. She thought her lost forever, until four years later she receives a phone call from her friend asking for a meeting. Lee was devastated, not knowing what had happened to her friend. Unfortunately not only did they find them, Mal disappeared. Four years before the events in the story take place two young women, Lee and Mal, cryptid, or monster, hunters, went out searching for a mysterious ‘bird-man’ who had been caught on a farmer’s CCT cameras.

The fabric between multiple earths is weakening allowing multiple portals to open between various timelines. In an amazing feat of literary physics Tchaikovsky has written an almost 600 page work so engrossing that it seems to take little or no time to read. The Doors of Eden, by Adrian Tchaikovsky, published by Pan Macmillan, is a fascinating and extraordinary work exploring the quirks of evolution and the possibility of multiple parallel earths.
