"A scientific breakthrough of such magnitude it could radically alter the future of humanity—for better or worse—is in the wrong hands." The Information Age is moving at breakneck speed. Breakthroughs in areas of science that were once fodder for science fiction are now becoming part of our everyday life. A group of graduate students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology has stolen a breakthrough in opening and stabilizing Einstein-Rosen Bridges, commonly known as wormholes, that allows them to instantly transport people from one location to another. Their goal is to assassinate any powerful politician and executive controlling the world’s banking system that would use this technology for their own greedy gain rather than the advancement of mankind. In south Orange County, California, young Chase Manhattan, part of a new breed of modern-day discovery seekers, seeks to leave behind his life of danger and adventure and settle down as an associate professor of physics at University of California-Irvine. He also desires to build a lasting relationship with a beautiful woman he has not seen since high school. His idyllic plan is postponed when he soon uncovers the diabolical scheme on the other side of the country. He realizes he is the one person who can prevent more murders from happening and either control or destroy the technology. Once the M.I.T. group understands Chase and his friends have the ability and motivation to not only take the technology from them, but also thwart more killings, Chase finds himself in their crosshairs, the top-of-the-list target on their assassination agenda. As the death toll mounts, Chase and his friends must battle this group of misled zealots from M.I.T. on both coasts and in cyberspace in a thrilling, desperate race to determine the outcome of this monumental, once in a millenium discovery that will drastically change life as we know it—for better or worse. Breakthrough, the first book in the Adventures of Chase Manhattan series, begins with a big bang and offers the audience exciting, unique, and diverse heroes and villains. The result is a fresh suspense thriller series integrating elements of greed, betrayal, passion, lust, unconditional love, coming of age, and hope. The action is swift. There are numerous twists and turns that will keep the reader turning the pages and wanting more. You will want to be sure to read Stephen's next thrilling installment, Opening. Look for Opening coming soon at your favorite bookstore.
Breakthrough The Adventures Of Chase Manhattan Mr Stephen Tremp Books
For time and wormhole travel, I think Jack Finney sets the standard. There is with Finney an exciting preparation, and a feeling of difference and adventure. The wormholes described here, upon which hinge the plotline, are about as exciting as stations on the Boston subway line. We are constantly told that this will be an epochal discovery, ranking with Newton and Einstein, but nobody ever says why. And Chase Manhattan acts like an action hero, with improbable abilities mental and physical. He doesn't seem to even sweat while evading armed assassins in the book's first part, but merrily goes down a long staircase flipflopping the stairs by the dozen, for the extent of a large building. He then takes part in a car chase, and, I'm sure, doesn't get his hair ruffled. I thought only 007 could get away with this!Those are my reservations. What I liked best was the camaraderie of the friends that Chase assembles to help him with his quest. As time went on, they became more three dimensional, and provided that one suspends disbelief and accepts the author's premise, they add some color to the plotline. I was not, however, moved to continue with the series - which is necessary, since the plot just continues in the next book.

Breakthrough The Adventures Of Chase Manhattan Mr Stephen Tremp Books Reviews
I don't read a lot of sci-fi--some of it is confusing with the terminology and the setting and descriptions don't always pull me in--but this tale held my attention. On one side is a group of students who manipulate wormholes and are possible assassins, and then there's Chase Manhattan and company who will fight them to do what's right. The amazing action will have readers turning pages.
In Breakthrough you have scientists finally stabilizing wormholes that allow safe travel to and from a place. How great is that idea? The problem is what happens when this breakthrough falls into the hands of terrorists or murderers? Not good. And so the story begins. One group--the not so good guys--have this wormhole technology. The other group--the guys who would wear the white hats if they were in style--are trying to get it and save the world.
The rest is escape into the story and hand-to-hand combat. Tremp write excellent fight scenes. They're fast, and clever, and I could follow the punches, the slashes and the chops to the back of the neck as if I were seeing them. If you like a lot of action, Breakthrough is your kind of read. And if you like pulling for those guys in white hats, it's also your kind of read.
I enjoyed it. It was a great change in pace from what I usually read.
There's enough adrenaline-pumping action in this book to keep any reader interested. There's martial arts-filled fights, wild chases, mysterious murders, and danger out the wazoo... oh, and did I mention the assassin who wreaks havoc with the help of a ... wormhole? Fascinating stuff, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
To be perfectly honest, I might have scored this book higher if I weren't such a nitpicker. I found the writing to be a tad stiff and awkward in spots, and there were also some minor spelling, grammatical, and formatting errors that could have been eliminated with additional editing. But all in all, those things, while somewhat annoying to a nit-picker like me, weren't enough to take away from the overall enjoyment of the book.
If you enjoy a good action story... with a wormhole twist!... you'll love this one. As for me, I will definitely read the rest of Tremp's books.
Breakthrough The Adventures of Chase Manhattan by Stephen Tremp is a fun, modern day science fiction story. As all described seems to be practically possibly, it left me with the eerie feeling that such events could happen right now, even though many people would quickly dismiss the story as nothing more than fantasy.
Although they run together, the story seems to come in two parts; at first it is described how a small group of sinister scientists at MIT are using stolen technology to manipulate events in their favor and cause crimes, even murders at the highest levels of government. Next, we watch as Professor Chase Manhattan, from southern California, is pulled into the mess by Dr. Nicholas Fischer, who is asking Chase to prove it is not he who is responsible for the misuse of his work.
I enjoyed this book. It has the right mix of what seems real and what seems like fantasy to make me step back and look at the world in a different light. I am somewhat interested in taking a look at this Book’s sequel.
Exciting science fiction with a reluctantly heroic protagonist, Stephen Tremp's Breakthrough looks at the downside of a great scientific breakthrough given into the wrong hands. Thoroughly detailed science is paired with carefully elucidated character descriptions, backstories and conversations, making the storyline easy to visualize--a whole TV series in a book perhaps. But of course, like so many TV series these days, it ends unfinished, inviting the reader to look for the sequel.
A lecture on wormholes sets the scene, introducing the concepts fairly simply but probably causing frustration for serious students of the subject. Dialog is natural and complete, as are the actions. Carefully choreographed fight scenes invite equally careful reading (maybe TV's easier), and well-constructed backstories ensure the characters are well-rounded and their actions fully and convincingly motivated. "Sweet butter-basted Main lobster" makes the mouth water, while occasional prayer invites meditation and "the element of total shock and awe" accompanies sudden destruction. Motivations are pleasingly complex and wounded by betrayal, damage is detailed down to the contents of "the gelatinized brain," and chess masters are only abused in the metaphor once. (Aghghgh--can you tell I like chess?)
In all, it's a long detailed novel with fast action and slow buildup, a fascinating premise very carefully explained, and enjoyable characters, recommended for sci-fi enthusiasts who like a touch of modern politics and social networking.
Disclosure I'd been looking forward to reading this for a while and was lucky enough to find it when it was free.
