Appraisal:
In a writing style integrating science fiction with spirituality,
author Jason Matthew’s novel, The Little
Universe, is written in the first person point-of-view of Jon Gruber. Jon
is a local handyman for hire. Once he begins work for the inventor, Gruber’s
eyes are opened to the wonders of the universe—literally.
As Adams’ universe evolves, his AI computer, Jim, seeks out sentient
life orbiting the tiny universe’s stars. Through Jim’s cameras, Jon and the
team of scientists that join Adams encounter worlds with mystery and scientific
advancement.
Webster Adam’s daughter, Whitney, is drawn into one world whose
mysterious dwellers may hold the key to everyone’s questions.
The
Little Universe will keep readers riveted, especially if they
are interested in the meaning of life and beyond.
