Interesting Mistery Sci-Fi story. At times a bit long winded but when the story gets going it is engaging and the author makes a couple of intriguing choices for characters.

Did you read The Stand and think “this needs more water and science philosophy”? Then you’re in luck!
They do a decent job of keeping the exposition natural feeling but sometimes it really falls into the trap of stuff like Atlas Shrugged where there’s a huge gap in the action so one character can go on and on about their ideas. Unlike Atlas Shrugged, this is a fun decent sci-fi adventure and not pure crap

Was für ein Buch. Ich hab so oft überlegt es wegzulegen da es auf 700 Seiten nicht aufregend werden wollte. Zum Schluss hin schon, obwohl dann die letzten 100 Seiten wieder irgendwas waren…
