Superhighway is a story about a young man who is discovering that he has the power to do something that he didn't even dream was possible. There is no one to guide or train him in the correct use of these powers and he has to stumble along the way and try to figure it out all by himself. Besides the mistakes that he makes while using his newly found powers, he also seems to get high on that premise and he makes some elementary mistakes in his romantic and social encounters. He is however very charismatic and it is easy to forgive him and wait and hope that others will do so as well.
Once Alex discovers his ability, he doesn't sit idle. He explores several exotic locations.He travels through the internet, taking him to Europe, the Caribbean, and both coasts of the United States. Along the way, he sees many things he's never seen or even knew existed. One of the most moving for him, is a level of poverty very difficult to imagine. He resolves to use his powers for good, stealing from the rich to give to the poor.
Yes, it does have a very Robin Hood feel to it when he steals billions from the world’s most nefarious organized criminals and sharing his loot with society’s discarded souls—but he still manages to indulge himself . However his fantasy world with its tropical islands and million-dollar sports cars may ultimately be his downfall as the powerful men he has stolen from seem to have returned to collect. Having successfully robbed the crime boss of some cash and a gold watch, Alex starts living it up in Amsterdam. He meets an attractive young woman, and takes her on a date. During the date he is confronted by one of the crime boss's henchmen regarding the watch that he is wearing. Unaware of the danger, Alex continues to show his date a good time; however, the two are kidnapped and find themselves taken prisoner by the crime boss. Alex is questioned by the crime boss about how he obtained the watch. When Alex does not answer the questions, his date is brutally murdered in front of him.
He is left running for his life while searching for a way to redeem the love he has destroyed. This is how the author describes his book. Is he teasing you? He could be, this description does not begin to hint at the action and intrigue that Alex Fine is about to go through as his life undergoes radical changes. He struggles to make sense of his newfound abilities and makes a number of life altering decisions that affects not just him but those around him.
Overall, the idea that someone could travel via the optical passageway will have young adults hooked, and most probably wishing that they could do the same thing. An ultra-slick novel, that if you love sci-fi’s, this is the perfect book to get your mind whirling.I recommend this thrilling and exciting read to those who enjoy science fiction and modern thrillers by the rating of 4 out of 4 stars.
