I didn't know what I was getting into when I opened this book. It was well-written and really interesting. I was always kept guessing. I especially liked that the main characters are Korean without the author making it all about their racial/ethnic background. In science fiction (and a lot of other fiction), you rarely see characters who are non-white, and when you do, the author writes it as a BIG DEAL (I especially think of Amy Tan books). Their backgrounds matter, but no more than I'd (as a white American) casually mention how being a Southerner or my religious background affects my outlook on a situation. I'd like to see more books written like this, presenting stories with more ethnic and racial diversity as "normal" people.
I had a hard time putting it down.

There was so much this book wanted to be and I think because of that, the journey felt lost. I became confused at the events that were happening and had to reread many pages to understand.

This is an interesting idea, very thought-provoking, the plot here is the star. The characters are along for support. the writing is excellent. Very hard to put down, and leaves you wondering.

Knew nothing of Cawdron going in. Took a chance. One of my favorite first contact novels EVER. Thrilling and ultimately hearkbreaking.

A very good read... the time travel was a bit hard to understand but overall it was a great book.

Well here’s my feedback. I enjoyed this book very much, not a lot of action, but a very compelling story all the same. Kept me interested and engaged, a page turner all the way through, with the two main threads converging at the end beautifully. I’ve read a few books by this author and they’ve all been excellent. Looking forward to reading some more.

Mindblowing
No spoilers. This is a great science fiction book that's interesting all the way through. The ending really wrapped things up nicely. Highly recommended.
