Title: not really convincing
Review: This book was at times quite interesting to read and there are some intriguing ideas, but somehow it can't really convince. As for being called a hard science book - how can an author describe a ferret as a catsized RODENT?? Jeeeeeez, that's like saying that an elefant is a primate. Another blunder is the space suit - it's described as being very thin and using body heat for thermoregulation and the best - it is permeable for perspiration!!! Helloooo? Doesn't anybody find that stupid? It should be called "crazy loonies certain death suit" ;-) was this a lousy attempt to "copy" Frank Herberts stillsuit? I don't know but, I know that it's not hard science.
Is the review positive or negative?
