3.0

I've never read one of Arnott's books before, so what a treat to run across this one. Sci-fi writers, historical conspiracies, Bond! All kinds of great stuff for good literary yet pulpy fun. The narration is clear and expressive, with a great range of voices and accents. I'm looking forward to looking at all the real-world Easter eggs on the book's website. My attention did wander a bit near the end as the loose threads wandered a bit (this book doesn't really follow a linear plot), but that was only partly because the book wanders a bit; I think some of the themes explored near the end are better read than listened to.
