The Janus Cycle can best be described as gritty, surreal, urban fantasy. The over-arching story revolves around a nightclub called Janus, which is not merely a location but virtually a character in its own right. On the surface it appears to be a subcultural hub where the strange and disillusioned who feel alienated and oppressed by society escape to be free from convention; but underneath that façade is a surreal space in time where the very foundations of reality are twisted and distorted. But the special unique vibe of Janus is hijacked by a bandwagon of people who choose to conform to alternative lifestyles simply because it has become fashionable to be different, and this causes many of its original occupants to feel lost and disenchanted. We see the story of Janus unfold through the eyes of eight narrators, each with their own perspective and their own personal journey. A story in which the nightclub itself goes on a journey. But throughout, one character, a strange girl, briefly appears and reappears warning the narrators that their individual journeys are going to collide in a cataclysmic event. Is she just another one of the nightclubs denizens, a cynical mischief-maker out to create havoc or a time-traveller trying to prevent an impending disaster?

The story follows eight characters, each with their own individual story. Revolving around the Janus (Club) each person is going through a personal issue. One mysterious lady appears with a message that they are all about to meet. But who exactly is she, and what affect will she have on every ones life?
Cleverly written with alternating voices of each character. This really brought me closer to each person, what they felt and what they are thinking. Rich dialog and (some) true to life events brings you deep into this compelling story. I highly recommend The Janus Cycle and the second book Dinnusos Rises to Young Adult and Adult readers. ( )
