Book Review: Eureka: Substitution Method

Eureka: Substitution Method

Eureka: Substitution Method, by Cris Ramsay

The small town of Eureka is a top secret installation and home to the greatest scientific minds in the country. Jack Carter is a sheriff of average intelligence, but routinely has to save the town from their own inventions-gone-haywire. What starts off as an almost boring day, soon spirals out of control when cars, homes and even humans start switching places. Sherriff Carter must discover who and what is behind the increasing displacements before the general public finds out too much and before the military steps in.

The first in a new series of tie-ins from the hit Syfy Network show, Substitution Method is set in the time period just prior to the current 4th season. And author Ramsay skillfully depicts the show’s entire regular cast, along with the eccentric Aussie tracker Taggert. These fantastic characters are thrown into a crazy situation that feels exactly like the television show, yet without the limits of visual effects. The plot is suspenseful, fast-paced, and creative. Favorite scenes are when Deputy Jo finds herself and the office switched with a gun shop and when Zane and Taggart switch places and find themselves in each other’s homes. Awkwardness and hilarity ensue. Loaded with drama, hi-tech peril, mystery, and the ever-present lighthearted humor – fans of the show will love this new tie-in series.
