I liked this, and despite the framing of the therapists office not gelling with me fully I loved the way we learnt more about Rob and what makes him tick.

It’s also probably the first time I’ve really felt like I’m reading a serialised magazine story to novel, I’ve read a few before but you can really tell from this.

Overall great sci-folk though, really making the alien feel alien and the ending just great hard sci-fi stuff, I think I’ll be checking out the rest of the Hechee books and hope they hold up to this one.
