Review title: Pretty Good Writing, Pointless Story
Product review: I tried to read Darwinia, an earlier novel by this author, and put in down due to its inability to interest me in what was a most intriguing plot. Chronoliths was much better written, but the ending left me cold and disappointed. Why this novel was chosen as a "best book" is beyond me. There are much better sci-fi novels and collections out there, you just have to look harder to find them.
