I’m calling this a 3 star book but it’s the biggest most enthusiastic 3 stars I can give it. I’m docking points because of some clarity issues at the end but the rest of the story has got me curious enough to want to try some more. I think it’s the kind of sci fi I’ll enjoy. As far as 3 star books go, this is one I’d recommend with confidence to any fan of contemporary sci fi. I’m in for another.
