Product Description


Viktor and Katherine Petroff return from a short holiday in Majorca to find somebody is in their house.Meanwhile, Victor and Catherine Petrov return from a short holiday in Majorca and on the way home suffer a minor traffic collision.At the same time, Victor and Katherine Petrovas are involved in a major car crash and are killed outright.Three near identical couples. Two have slipped through the cracks from other universes. Trapped in a world which is almost – but not quite – like their own, they must work together to figure out how they travelled the multiverse to become stranded in a strange land.The underlying theme of Vitali Vitaliev’s new science-fiction comedy thriller, however, is not so much the multiverse as that eternal question: how well do we know our loved ones?Relationships are strained, new attachments are formed and the beautiful little differences that make each of us unique are examined closely.


Review



"This clever and engaging tale of overlapping quantum worlds explores the strangest 'multiverse' of all - the many selves that make up a person."


Piers Bizony (author of Atom), science writer, filmmaker



"In Vitaliev's expert hands, science fiction is neither science nor exactly fiction - and comedy isn't always comic. For, using the multi-universe hypothesis borrowed from quantum mechanics as his backdrop, he shows human relationships in their palpable reality moulded out of flesh and blood, and animated by the heart. The reader may sometimes laugh, sometimes cry - while always admiring the work of a true master."


A. Boot, columnist, blogger, author of "How the Future Worked"




From the Author


"Against the backdrop of the multiverse, Out of the Blu scrutinises what makes us attractive, what makes us disgusting; the beautiful little differences that create our uniqueness," said Vitali Vitaliev. "I am very proud of the ending, which I obviously won't reveal... you will have to find out for yourselves whether the characters get back to their respective universes."
