Gritty space opera spawned from the throes of the sleeping mind. Starts as an overly complex and depressive story of a man who went through the considerable loss of losing the one who is your entire life. Filled with scientific buzz words that only exist to add depth to a book coloured by detail. As the story continues you get pulled along with the main character as you experience his whole life from a unique internal perspective. Time dilates as the present gets so oppressive that the mind bends under stress and pain beginning to pull the past into the now and hinting at the future. If you do as I did and read the entire 351 pg(Libby) novel in one sitting you will feel the emotions and the eternal blowing of sand protruded by the eternal resounding “Thud” every 10.6 seconds. Forcing you to be apart of the journey of a broken mind. Overall it does a great job showing how people’s differing core values mix and churn in an alien environment. Good book but I enjoyed TSiaSoS more. Worth a read from the library but not a buy. The other reviews seem to hate it but I think they forget the book is a concept with a cliffhanger that, to me, is meant to make you think and leave an echo in the mind.
