I think it's one that even non-sci-fi lovers could get into. Thanks for your kind words.Cecilia_L wrote: ↑27 Oct 2018, 21:17While this isn't my preferred genre, your review really piques my interest. Great review!While the book falls firmly in the science fiction genre, there was an enigma to be puzzled out. We aren't given the full scope of the story upfront. But rather, the author lays down breadcrumbs guiding us along the path toward the answers. The answers we seek aren't fully revealed until the ending, leaving us eagerly turning pages. The mystery starts almost immediately, so there is no slow build-up or boring pages waiting to see when the action will start. It hooks you right away.

Oh, it's definitely not slow paced. You get right into the action. It was quite enjoyable. Thanks.Rosemary Khathibe wrote: ↑28 Oct 2018, 14:00 I feel bad for Peter: imagine working for the Orb only to find out your daughter's death is connected to it! Unlike most of science fiction books, I'm glad to hear that this one is not slow-paced. Fascinating review!

If you haven't tried science fiction before, you should definitely try one. This would be a good one to start with as it contains more than just sci fi. The mystery will hook you. Thanks.sonya01 wrote: ↑28 Oct 2018, 14:10 Your enthusiasm for this genre is infectious and I think I really must try a science fiction book to see if I like it. The idea of the story unfolding little by little is very appealing and think it must take great skill to write like that. Many thanks for a great review.

Well, this is one of those books you have to kind of piece together. However, I wouldn't say that it was difficult to follow. I enjoyed it. Thanks!

The holographic clothes seemed like a lot of fun to me! I can't wait for those to be available. It might be a while, though.Dael Reader wrote: ↑29 Oct 2018, 15:24 I feel like I have to read this book just to learn about the holographic clothes. Is that anything like the story of the emperor's new clothes? Thanks for the compelling review.
