Blink of an Eye

by Ted Dekker

Seth, a certified genius, and Miriam, a Saudi Princess, find themselves thrown together as fugitives in a high-stakes chase across Southern California. . . but with no sleep and a massive manhunt steadily closing in, their chances of surviving any future are razor thin.

Seth Borders has one of the world's highest IQs. Now he's suddenly struck by an incredible power, the ability to see multiple potential futures. Then Seth stumbles upon Miriam, a beautiful Saudi Arabian princess who has fled her veiled existence to escape a forced marriage. Cultures collide as Seth and Miriam are thrown together and forced to run from forces determined to kidnap or kill Miriam. An intoxicating tale set amidst the shifting sands of the Middle East and the back roads of America, Blink engages issues as ancient as the earth itself . . . and as current as today's headlines.

Picked up in an airport because I'd run out of books and surprisingly good. The action is fast and interesting, the story is set up well, there aren't nearly enough women in a male dominated story but the characters that are here are interesting and well developed for a thriller. I think the thing I liked best, though was the premise. Seth is a good flawed hero who has to sort out the implications of his ability. Some people might not enjoy the quantum physics bits, but I liked the way he handled the theological implications of what was happening without getting distracted in a philosophical exposition. It was quick and it was interesting and a hero who deals with the significance of what he can do is more fascinating than one who gets caught up in how to use his ability.
