Originally written exclusively for the Kindle, I obtained this as a newly released audio book. (A must have for my Stephen King collection!).
Initially it reads like a brown nosing advert for Amazon and the Kindle, but once you get past this, it is quite an interesting story. UR’s are alternative realities that are accessed via a pink Kindle that is received in error by an English Teacher who has ordered one in an effort to catch up with the technological age. One of the UR realities has Ernest Hemmingway living for a few more years and writing more novels—all of which can be downloaded. This is all very exciting until our protagonist discovers a local UR which accesses the future news. The news of course isn’t good and with the help of two friends he sets out to prevent the looming disaster he has seen.
However, having broken the Paradox Laws, he now become a person of interest to the ‘Low Men’ who pay him a visit.
If you are a fan of King, you will relish the tie-ins to the Dark Tower series and Hearts in Atlantis.
