Recommended to me by my partner (Sci fi fan), not terribly enthusiastic at first, by the 3rd chapter completely hooked (although wishing I'd paid more attention in my science classes!). No need to be a techie, Mr Weir is such a brilliant writer and the story is so compelling, I enjoyed it right up to the very end. Need a break from apocalyptic writing for a little while now though, or just a vodka martini to chill out and appreciate what I sometimes take for granted. Happy reading folks, it's a fist bumper (IYKYK!).
