Review title: Bad Science, Adequate Story
Product review: For a book that is advertised as hard SF, it falls far short. There are numerous and pervasive errors in the science and engineering, many of which could have been caught by any reader familiar with the conventions of hard SF, and others that would have been caught by any competent person (layman) who is familiar with science on the level of reading the newspaper and magazines like Natural History and National Geographic.There are a fair number of word errors (spelling, word choice, etc) that should have been caught by a proofreader.There are general and specific problems with consistency and continuity, that (for me) affect the believability of the characters and story.I also was not convinced of the believability of some of the characters and situations.Decent story idea though. Save your money.
