Altered Estates

“A reality-reconstructing mystery maze of mirrors where you, reader, are playing the story. Check your role at the door. This is a fast-paced mind trip into a game like no other.” —C.S. Haviland, author of Faith & Fairies

“Altered Estates is a complex science fiction adventure—a fun ride through a sometimes familiar, often inventive augmented reality scenario.” —Foreword Clarion review

“Mathison favors traditional one-thing-after-another storytelling and scenecraft, with the always-odd events, conversations, pageantry, and moments of puzzle-solving related in crisp, engaging language . . . an epic puzzle-box novel bursting with riddles, mysteries, and surprise.”  —Publishers Weekly BookLife review

“Occasionally confusing, always entertaining, and undeniably fun, Mathison’s yarn is a truly unique reading experience. A trippy tale packed with high-tech inventions and old-school mystery that feels like a wildly captivating video game.” —Kirkus Indie review

“This unique blend of an English manor mystery and psychedelic adventure will leave readers both entertained and intellectually stimulated. Mathison's narrative is confident, smooth, and witty, always making readers feel as though they're in safe hands no matter where the plot takes them. The scenes and cleverly hidden references make it a delightful read for those interested in unconventional narratives and futuristic technology, and also those who want their mystery concepts a little harder to dig for and, therefore, much more satisfying to achieve.” —Readers’ Favorite, 5-star review
