"Gerritsen is almost always a good read"
This is not her best work (but even her bad stuff is pretty darned good), and any book with Jane Rizzoli is a treat. The narration helps overcome the weaker parts of the story. All in on, a great story for long commutes.
It is enjoyable, but not her best work.
"A stunningly good listen."
Yes. The story is well written and impeccably told. This is "Star Trek Meets The Hitchhiker;s Guide to the Galaxy!:
I thought the last sentence of the novel was the best. Then I thought Coda 1 was. Then Coda 2. Then Coda 3.
Wil grabbed exactly the right tone for these characters. Good choice, and a somewhat ironic one.
One of the best SF books in years!
