I struggle to define The Speed of Life by James Victor Jordan. Yes it is essentially a fast-paced thriller, investigating a brutal crime, but it is also so much more. A diverse cast of characters introduce Western philosophy, astrophysics, human nature, and American Mythology, for a rich and multi-faceted plot that it gripping and thought-provoking. Several storylines wind around one another and come together for a thrilling conclusion that will leave you wanting more from Jordan. Through The Speed of Life, I felt that I learned a lot about the human spirit, and how it is the relationships between one another can be so strong, yet so fragile. An excellent read that I know will stay with me for a long time.
