Delta-V

very disappointed - long infodumps to give information that other characters are supposed to be fascinated by. Also strange unrealistic characterisations of non-USA characters.

Disappointing so far. The billionaires are obviously based on real people with the names changed, but also they don't seem realistic (which probably saves the author from litigation). There are long infodumps which are given as characters giving a presentation to eachother, or a character interviewing another one. Other than the infodumps, there's a LOT of character development and their feelings, and less "science fiction". So far it hasn't become so bad that I can't continue reading, but I'm unlikely to buy the next book in the series.

Another book impossible to put down, from the very first page to the last. Every chapter built explosively upon the previous, every scene felt alive and real, and even the balance of the book felt right - the halfway mark in the text providing a great juncture point to the whole narrative.

the deaths hurt, the triumphs mattered, and the ethics will resound long after the final thump of the closing book cover. Almost certainly, as with several of Suarez's other novels, this is one to reread some day.
