My Amazon review: This was my first Paul McAuley novel, but certainly won't be my last. I just flat-out loved this book! I made the mistake of starting it over Thanksgiving, and ticked my family off because I kept abandoning them every chance I got to go read more of this great story. I was initially intrigued by the science, but really got hooked on the characters and was anxious to see how the tale played out for each of them. McAuley does an excellent job of letting the reader inside their heads, and made me *care* about how their intertwining issues were resolved. The action and suspense are taut from the very beginning and never let up - I did not find any part of the more than 500-page tale to be boring or unnecessary, and would have gladly read more had the author written it. I'll have to satisfy myself with his other works.
