No

No
Solid hard sci-fi book.
The first third was alright. Established the main characters and their goals so the rest of the book could just "go."
Second third was a little slow, but it never reached a point of being unreadable.
Last third...Holy weh! Good thing I wasn' wearing a CORA monitor (in-story heart monitor) because I most certainly would have been on the receiving end of a lecture from it. Stress-inducing page turner, I blew through it in only a couple hours.
That epilogue though...???...WTF was that?! Will skip it if I read it again.
Overall, I enjoyed my time with this book. I might read it again and I'll definitely be checking out more of Clarke's books.
