The story of this book was very off putting for me. A loner on space? Like some of these 70s chatastrophic movies only on a far away planet and not a plane. But after having heard that many good things about it I gave it a try and was I wrong!
The story is interesting, thrilling and seems genuine in an odd way. The tone is so funny that I had to chuckle many times. And you learn something along the way.
I loved it!
