The idea of there being multiple timelines fascinates me. This was an excellent review of the book. I'm so excited to get my hands on it

I am a bit surprised that this review is featured since it contains multiple usage errors. That said, the book itself sounds interesting -- I've never read a novel that features both wrongful incarceration and the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. I'd like to read it.

This sounds like a science fiction novel I can wrap my head around. The usual saviour of the world plot doesn't cut it for me. Moreover, the idea of multiple doppelgangers in multiple worlds leading similar lives makes for a rich story.

I'm curious how the author manages to describe the ideas of lucid dreaming and multiple timelines. I also wonder if Gary will get rid of the murder sentence. Thanks for your review!

I thought Worldlines was good but wow, now I really want to read The Futility of Vengeance as well. It's a heartwarming notion that souls attract even through dimensions like Michelle, Gary and Sinead. Also, Gary being wrongfully accused and sentenced when he was in fact innocent is quite infuriating.
Great review!

Wow it's great that Worldlines continue, Gary Jackson is in prison for a crime he never committed, indeed how could he have murder his only girlfriend, and how will he prove himself and yet in prison, so many questions unanswered to me, Wow this is must read for me, thanks for sharing and congrats on BOTD.

It sounds like the killer is from another world. BTW I haven't read any of the books. But, if that's the case it would be hard to prove in court. Great review!

This book appears an exceptionally well-written and intriguing sequel to Worldlines. I wonder what Gary’s revenge is and if it works out the way he planned. Great review.

Going to jail for a crime you did not commit is a hard pill to swallow. Gary must prove his innocence. This is a book I'll love to read. Thanks for the review.

An interesting book "The Futility of Vengeance" by Adam Guest, which basically revolves around life of Gary, who faced a trial and punishment for a crime he didn’t commit. The story showing the possibility of having a multiverse makes it appealing.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

This is the sequel of the book Worldlines. It again brings various versions of Gary, now one of them is in jail because the Gary of another worldline killed Michelle. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the informative review!
