The Fold
By Peter Clines
Book review by Kevin Mittge
In “The Fold” by Peter
Clines, the main character Mike
Erikson has an eidetic memory.
He remembers everything that
has happened to him in his life
and everything he has ever
read.
He’s not using his special
gift, but instead is teaching a
high school English class. One
day a friend from Washington,
D.C., convinces him to act as
his eyes and ears in investigat-
ing the progress of a group of
scientists working on a top-
secret project in the California
desert who are up for their
annual funding review.
This team of scientists has
invented a device they call the
“Albuquerque Door.” Using a
computer program and magnet-
ic fields, they have shrunk or
“folded” distances so a person
can travel hundreds of feet in
one step. It seems to be totally
safe after hundreds of human
“crosswalks,” but they aren’t
ready to take their project pub-
lic yet.
As Erikson discovers, things
aren’t quite right with the proj-
ect. The scientists are secretive
about their work, they seem out
of sorts and have suffered
strange memory problems and,
after some trips through the
device, they look slightly dif-
ferent.
What Erikson discovers is
scientifically fascinating and
extremely frightening and a
threat to the future of the world
as we know it.
One of the “best books” of
2015, this science fiction
thriller is a page-turner that you
won’t be able to put down until
the final, terrifying conclusion.

Popular Oregon hikes author
William L. Sullivan will speak at
the library Tuesday, June 7, at 1
p.m., to present “New Oregon
Coast Hikes.”
Oregon’s hiking guru will
present a slide show tour of a
dozen new trails he discovered
while researching the new fourth
edition of his book, “100 Hikes
and Travel Guide: Oregon Coast
and Coast Range.”
Discover a loop hike around
Depoe Bay, an abandoned rail-
road along a river near
Tillamook and a trek to the
world’s tallest redwoods just
over the border in California.
As always, Sullivan spices his
talk with notes on the geology,
wildlife and history of the land.
Sullivan is the author of 17
books about Oregon, including
“Oregon Trips and Trails,”
“Oregon’s Greatest Natural
Disasters,” “Hiking Oregon’s
History” and the popular “100
Hikes” series.
His journal of a 1000-mile
hike he took across Oregon in
1985, “Listening for Coyote,”
was chosen by the Oregon
Cultural Heritage Commission
as one of Oregon’s “100 Books”
— the 100 most significant
books in the state’s history.
