Nothing special. A no-brainer really, just an easy read action novel. Nothing more, nothing less.

Moeilijk om te geloven dat dit boek geschreven is door de auteur van de Jack Ryan-boeken. Chaotisch, nikske diepgang, oppervlakkig, goedkoop, ...

Entertaining read, I enjoyed it, but not an original. It is too much based on Haldeman's Forever War and Heinlein's Starship Troopers. For that reason only 3*, but don't let that stop you from reading it.

SciFi! Written by 2 of my favourite authors! Nerds! Singularity! I should so like this book, but I don't. Boring, chaotic, a page crawler and I have no idea what kind of story they were trying to tell.

Interesting topics, interesting people, but not really an entertaining read, despite the hype. The book is based on discussions (transcripts of ~) which doesn't make for easy reading. There is no flow in the book. But it's damn interesting stuff. Thi...more

“You believe in a book that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, burning bushes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, and all sorts of magical, absurd and primitive stories, and you say that we are the ones that need help?”
― Mark Twain
