Fifty years ago, I cut my teeth on science fiction, but I had moved on to other genres. After reading this book I am glad I did.
There actually is a pretty good story buried in there...I think, but you can't see it for the author's attempts to make it......I don't know what he was trying to do.
As you follow the heroes through millions of years of time plots and subplots abound. The strands weave together and the end is pretty good but the story somehow misses the mark. Or perhaps my 60 year old brain can no longer keep up. I was left confused and unsatisfied.
Don't think I'll try any more Neal Asher books.
