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
