Cover title.
RASL, a dimension jumping art thief with a tattoo of a woman's name (Maya) on his left arm, is wandering in a desert battered and bloody. He recollects his memories on a job where he steals a Picasso painting (The Old Guitarist) from a tall house during a thunderstorm. After tagging the location of the painting, RASL escapes from the police by using an immersion suit to enter the Drift, a place where he is able to travel to other dimensions.

Disappointing submitted by klickitat on August 6, 2012, 9:15am Pretty slow moving (although there is a lot of "action" - shooting, death, time traveling through alternate world vortexes) for a first installment. I didn't get a good enough sense of the "rules" or understanding of the character to have any interest in reading the rest of the series. It's clear Smith is trying very hard to move beyond Bone, his previous juvenile comic series, but the "adult content" in RASL often feels forced. Shame.

Exciting submitted by Peter Pasque on July 16, 2015, 9:31am This is a unique and exciting view on time travel. I enjoyed this book immensely. I was a little worried that I wouldn't like Jeff Smith's writing for adults but I was pleasantly surprised. This is not an "all ages" book.
