This is an excellent book and it is beautifully written. However, for me personally, I found following all the science a bit challenging.

If you like hard science fiction and space opera, then this is a book for you.

I have read Blue Remembered Earth more recently and absolutely loved it. It was packed with interesting ideas and concepts which were fascinating and challenging, but somehow more accessible for me. I like popular science but am not a scientist.

I will be reading more Alastair Reynolds but will probably look for more recent writing especially anything written after Blue Remembered Earth.

I did enjoy it but I had to work at it a bit in places.

If you picked this up...
