This series has been all over my RSS news feeds as a series everyone must try. Interesting science mixed with a bit of detective work. Sounds good to me! Yes, it was science and there was a trial, but that's also all that it was.

Maybe some are so blown away by the crazy cool science that it is enough to carry their interest. Maybe some enjoy the trial and the slow unveiling of details. Maybe you really want to know what actually happened...unfortunately, I turned out to not be in any of those boats.

The characters aren't strong or enjoyable, and my lack of interest in them decreased my need to know who did the killing. The science is explained to you with easy to follow examples...as easy to follow as you know...particle accelerators and atomic interaction can be. However, the thing I was most interested in-highly intelligent particle beings from another dimension!-was the thing that was explained the least. Instead we are focusing on the characters and the human aspect, a man just lost his family and all, and I didn't care about that one bit. Start communicating with the super awesome powerful eyeless creatures and maybe you'd have my attention.
