Title: Surprisingly good
Product review: I have to be honest. This book sat on my bookcase for nearly 6 months before I finally decided to read it. The subject matter did not seem that interesting to me. Fortunately, the book ended up being a pleasant surprise. It alternates between two plotlines, one set during the fall of the Roman Empire and the other during present day. I found myself more interested in the older storyline than the present day plot. Interestingly enough, this book is tied into Baxter's Xeelee universe too, especially the ending.
