‘Circular Motion,' a debut both wildly imaginative and deeply emotional
Alex Foster's debut novel, 'Circular Motion,' is precisely 360 pages long, an appropriately exact total for a story about a near future in which international travel has been revolutionized by the 'westward circuit,' a vast collection of 'circuit vessels' that constantly orbit Earth without landing. Built and operated by a giant corporation, the westward circuit cuts down travel time by so much that it's possible, for instance, for the narrator and his friends to do a 'world crawl,' a pub crawl of the whole planet.
