This is the first novel by Gregory Benford and it was a pretty good techno-physic book. The introduction of singularities and quarks and black holes was very interesting in an archaeological setting .... go figure!

The author is excellent in his use of $50 words, and quite flowery in his description of the differing situations. I had to look up a few words i must admit!

This is a good read for the detailed-sort of novel, and I look forward to reading other books by Benford. I gave it 4 stars because i just thought some of the prose was too long too often.
