Peter's rating my rating review Got sixty pages into this discursive, disjointed mess and gave up on it. The book makes simply no sense.

**spoiler alert** If you ignore the rather shallow and comic-book treatment of US politics and then the human-influenced bolide impact, this book makes sobering and gripping reading. Baxter's ability to gleefully yet plausibly destroy Mankind is very much on show here. There's a lot to hate about this book (trawl through some of the other reviews - they're on the money), but there's three times as much to like. Compare what happens to the crew as they float their way to Titan with that of a later effort of Baxter's: Ark. (less)

Effective supernatural thriller. Once you get past the first few pages, it heats up and drags you in. Almost falls into a trite trap, but gets out of it and continues down its thrilling road. Recommended.(less)

Not even going to read it. It's one big slab of narrative, no dialogue in sight. What's the point of writing a story featuring humans if those humans lack a voice of their own?(less)

Another book I'd give 4 and a half stars to if I could. A solid and entertaining read. Garry Disher doesn't have Elmore Leonard's ear for dialogue (few writers do) but he also doesn't waylay the story with sassy cleverness either. He stays on track a bit better. With this story, it's all very matter of fact, and concisely done. Good job.(less)

I appreciate the web the author is trying to weave here, but it's chaotic and disjointed. Its other main problem is the low-key writing. It just sort of mumbles and mutters onward, never really raising its voice to be heard above the fantasy din. Another book I tried to read but couldn't. (less)

I gave this book two tries and reached about page 60 on the second attempt. I like the author's descriptive and discursive style but it's everything else - the lack of any kind of solid character, the skipping and dancing jolts of perspective and finally, the sense that I'd gotten nowhere with the story. It was that kind of book. And this is another science fiction book that would've worked better (in my opinion) if the SF was taken out of it. So it seemed from the little I read of it.(less)

Please. The first book had promise, even if it was buried under theatrics and stock situations. This installment? Good guys who turn themselves into hard-ass bad guys so they can beat the real bad guys while posturing and making This Is Sparta type declamations. That's pretty much it and this book has few other redeeming features. Tragic, as the underlying concept is promising.(less)
