McEvoy is a truth-seeker. He has moments when he sees through the
surface sheen of the world to a deeper reality, and moments when
his sense of self dissolves. The Scotsman is restless, a wanderer.
He flings himself into new relationships, even as he flees family
secrets. In Shadow World, we see through McEvoy's eyes as he grows
from boisterous youth to a man defined equally by darkness and
light. We meet his demons and his lovers. His adventure unfolds
like beads on a string, with each episode separate yet connected.
His journey takes him from the Arizona desert to the wilds of
Patagonia, from the Silk Road in China to the lush countryside of
Ireland, ending in a twilight zone near the Arctic Circle. Shadow
World is a first novel by noted popular science writer Chris Impey.
Shadow World inhabits the boundary between narrative fiction and
science fiction. It explores the tension between artifacts and
natural forms, between reality and illusion, between the science
that is and the science that might be. The novel is filled with
intriguing characters. We meet a death camp survivor for whom music
is everything, a relentless archeologist who is rewriting the story
of human civilization, a mercurial sculptor who has a personality
that mirrors her art, identical twins who inhabit parallel worlds
of science and religion, a brilliant but raunchy astrophysicist,
and an enigmatic philosopher who seems to know McEvoy better than
he knows himself. By the end of his twenty-year odyssey, McEvoy has
gained a startling insight into his reality, and perhaps ours as
well.
