"17 years ago: A girl in South Dakota falls through the earth, then wakes up dozens of feet below ground on the palm of what seems to be a giant metal hand. Today: She is a top-level physicist leading a team of people to understand exactly what that hand is, where it came from, and what it portends for humanity. A swift and spellbinding tale told almost exclusively through transcriptions of interviews conducted by a mysterious and unnamed character, this is a unique debut that describes a hunt for truth, power, and giant body parts"--

This was the best audio book I've listened to in a long time. The voice acting was, overall, terrific. I'm looking forward to diving into the sequels.
Didn't think I would like a book about giant robots so much, but am now into the second of the series...
I really enjoyed the reading experience of this book and where it went. I re-emphasized to me how much I enjoy this type of book. My only real complaint, is that I never fully felt bonded with the characters. So I am withholding five stars for now, but I think story as a whole as a lot of potential.
The first 2/3rds or so of this book was fantastic, but then it turned into just politics from that point forward, and lost most of the charm and wonder that was present in the beginning. However, the ending still left me looking forward to the sequel.
