Ratings and reviews

Had some interesting technology plots that were unique and fun to read, but the relationships were boring among the main characters and the dialogue weak. Closing plot was unfulfilling. I wouldn't recommend.

until this book i could never put a bacter book down....this is the first book for pleasure i literally gave up on 46% of the way thru...started off ok then just....boring...felt like the whole experience was a living room chat/character development exercise between 4 or 5 characters...where the setting kind of changed. again im a stephen baxter fan...this one was just off....to me.

Slow slog to finish. And other reviewers were right, endless meetings and conferences take up the bulk of the story.
