Left Alone

Japanese hard scifi is hard to find in translation. This is a true gem. Excellent story; believable, relatable characters; a decent translation; brilliant ending. Highly recommended. Truly five-star material, but loses one star for using fonts that don't mesh well with e-readers (at least on Play Books anyway) causing huge gaps between the comma and the next letter (i.e. don' t), and because I think the editing could have been a bit tighter considering the quality of the publisher.
