This was a slightly more difficult book than is usual, but no less satisfying for having read it. I remember the Mars Trilogy with great fondness but I also remember it being stuffed full of invention and depth that most tales have no more than a gloss. This novel is very much like his previous no...
Adored this. I loved Swan, she was petulant and selfish and not in the slightest perfect. I can see why a lot of people don't. I wish we'd got to know Alex more, perhaps there's another book out there for that. Alex and Mquaret's story, and the genesis of Terminator, would be a fun read. On the ...

Technology has made it possible to live on planets, moons and in between, allowing for the creation of habitats and the recreation and preservation of whole species.
