Review title: A disappointment
Product review: Benford is a solid writer, and i ahve enjoyed many of his novels (including Timescape, which I recommend highly) but this is a slow-moving novel with stock (and not very interesting) characters. The science-fiction aspects of the novel are VERY interesting, but without a solid plot anc charcters to back them up, it all falls apart. A major disappointment.
