I've Never Read A Book Like This Before

What begins with an alien in a turtle pond in NYC ends in ways I never saw coming. It combines deep hard science (fractals, prime numbers, pink noise) with theology and the soul. What begins as one character's journey, is seven by the end. Expect gun fights, dog fights that make Top Gun look like paper airplanes, and battles with spaceships. I found the first 50 pages the slowest part. After that it swings rapidly into high action, high science. Often I could only read 25-50 pages at a time before I needed to stop and let it sink in. Normally I could finish a book this length in 2 sittings. It took me a week. I also really hope this is a beginning of a trilogy. I want to read more of these characters.
