I’m a pretty big fan of Ian McDonald, so when I learned that a brand new novel by the author was on the way, I got suitably excited. Then, when I found out that the new novel would be the start of a series, and that this series would deal with alternate dimensions and multiverse-type ideas (very different from his last few books), I got really excited. And then, when I discovered that the series would be a young adult series — well, it took me a while to come down from that one.
So, here it is: Planesrunner, book one in Ian McDonald’s brand new Everness series, which — based on this first novel — I hope will be a very long series of YA science fiction novels. Boy, this book was fun.
