A review by martyfried
Marooned in Realtime by Vernor Vinge
4.0
Vernor Vinge writes pretty imaginative and (to me) unusual SciFi books, and this one was no exception. It's the second part of the series, but it's all much later than the first book, by thousands (millions?) of years. Something (humans? We never know for sure) all but destroyed the human race, and now they're close to finalizing that act. But mixed with that is a simple murder mystery to occupy our interest until the end.
I found it to be thoughtful and interesting, like most of his books. In this story, he expands the concept of the bobbles introduced in the last book, and they are used in ways you might never expect.
