This is undoubtedly the weirdest, grittiest and harshest novel of Science Fiction I've ever consumed. Does Mr.Reynolds sometimes overreach in an attempt to be cutting edge and interesting? Yes. But we can forgive him this sin when he generates such an involved book which spans a whole range of exotic locales, bizarre religions, and strange misfits. Mr. Reynolds career at the European Space Agency shines through as he attempts to adhere to certain inviolate laws of physics, while, in other areas, allowing his expansive imagination to run away with him, taking us on a journey into darkness, pain and discovery.
