Blasphemy is a scifi thriller with very little character development (indeed, most of the characters are one-sentence cliches). The plot revolves around a particle accelerator that may or may not be a phone-line to God. I liked the "voice of God" dialog toward the end, and I enjoyed the how-is-he-going-to-resolve-this tension until the big revelation, but then the novel keeps going for a bit too long during the "chase" scene.
I probably would not have read this if it hadn't been selected by my reading group. I didn't hate it, but I can't really recommend it either.
