First time with this author, certainly not my last! I thoroughly enjoyed this tightly woven tale, both heartfelt and perfectly woven together, keeping me guessing and entertained the entire novel.

While technically and artistically very competent the book lacks any meaningful purpose to draw the user in. The book is a slice of life that manages to bore the reader for a large portion of the book. The lack of a cohesive plot also ruins the entire purpose of the book. A small novella exploring the features of a sinking New York would have been better suited for this style.

Competent writing, fairly compelling story, kept me entertained. What is holding it back is that it is a mostly run of the mill robot/freedom/body hacking story, but fresh enough to sound original.

Excellently detailed novel that really satisfied my need for exquisite detail and scientifically accurate space physics (as far I could tell at least). The ideas in the novel (especially at the end) are breathtaking and beautifully rendered. Would certainly recommend to hard sci-fi fans.

I am a bit of a time travel sucker, and this book started out interesting and had a great middle... then kind of died a quiet death near the end. The premise was good, the characters were interesting overall, and the sci-fi was mostly unique and interesting... until the wheels starting falling off the story at the end.
