Worldlines by Adam Guest is an interesting novel which suggests the existence of a multiverse. It also bespeaks the existence of a doppelganger in each world. The worldlines can be interacted with when one gets into a state of unconsciousness, through sleep in any of the many worlds. Gary Jackson who is the main character of the story had his life in other worldlines affected by a near death experience, a missed lorry collision. However, in another timeline he was hit by the lorry, this affected his right limb (arm and leg). Making it invalid, thus, causing him to learn to write with his left hand and walk with the help of a walking aid for long distance journeys.

The worldline without the lorry accident has Michelle Peyton, Gary's crush from high school as his soul mate. While, the accidented Gary Jackson was turned down by Michelle Peyton after he asked her out, this resulted in his resentment for her, albeit tucked. This resulted in his murder of her in his sleep one day, causing her death in an alternate worldline, where they were a couple. Gary in the worldline where Michelle is dead was arrested and awaits trial for the murder charge. Gary Jackson from the other worldline senses that innocent Gary stands in danger of imprisonment. Hence, he gets across to Prof. Buzzard, Sinead's (Gary's best friend) lecturer from the University, in order to get justice for innocent Gary. Will Prof. Buzzard be able to help? Adam Guest, in this series communicates the possibility of Many Worlds with our doppelgangers who we can take possession of, when we drift into the unconscious state of sleep.

Adam Guest in Worldlines did a great work with plot plays, alternating between the worldlines was a job well done. The characters were conspicuous, each with his/her unque attribute. I liked the scientific notion that the existence of a multiverse may be. I however, did not like the fact that I had to be overtly concentrated to follow the story. I'd have preferred a leisure read. Adam Guest is a good writer, I look forward to the promised continuity of the series this 2020.

The editing of this text was good. I am awarding the novel a 3 out of 4 Stars, largely because of the high level of concentration that's required to sail through in its perusal. Adam Guest intelligently comments on scientific and medical terminologies. The ability to lucid dream (interface an alternate worldline) by the use of Prof. Charnock's placebo drugs sounded engaging. I did observe minor errors, which were no hindrance to the flow.

The book is recommended to adults who find the tale of multiverse absorbing, and are interested in science fiction in text form. The book contains no record of profanity, vulgarity or insult. It also does not contain mature themes. It does however, depict Donna, Gary's elder sister as gay which some religious persons may want to take note of.

This book is definitely on my list. Hope, the transitions between the multiple universes will be smooth Thanks for a great review!

I want to read this book since I have heard a lot about it but I’m not sure if it would be too confusing switching between Worldlines, thank you for your great review.

Nah, it wouldn't confuse you at all, the author was able to make readers transist each Worldline easily.
Thanks for the comment.
