Tiona picks up six years after the end of Vaz.

Tiona, Vaz's daughter, is starting grad school in physics, has a "bad boy" musician boyfriend, and does her own strange variety of charity work at a homeless shelter. Her professor has her start work on a project to try to achieve high-temperature superconduction by doping the graphene membranes her lab partner has figured out how to precipitate. Oddly, her experiments are plagued by bizarre movements in the membranes when she applies current to them.

When she mentions the movements to Vaz, he soon determines that her "problem" represents a physics breakthrough that could result in the production of a reactionless drive capable of lifting a craft into space.

Liked Daz. Tiona is better. Wonderful depiction of a man on the spectrum and his family. Tiona character is sufficiently complex to hold your interest. overall good science... okay, maybe a little far out but it is science fiction isn't it? Also the plot is satisfying for those of us who like morality tales.

Better and better

Great story, and great lead in to the next book. Kinda short for the money, but worth it in my opinion.

Great follow through with Vaz and family

I love the story line and the characters, I want more detail
With the relationships and more back story with some of the characters. Can we steam it up in the love department just a bit.. but I’m off to find the third book now …

Good but I want more???

Super feel good high tech sci fi... exactly what I like to hear on a daily basis. One of the streaming services should pick up the movie rights quickly!

I like the characters, especially Tiona and Vaz. They're unique and interesting. The story narrative has too much time dedicated to explaining the science and not enough story. Coming from the Donsaii series, I understand how key technology is to Dahner's books, but he didn't get the balance right this time, I needed more to happen. Also, the romance felt forced. I think(?) because while we saw a lot of Nolan's side of things, didn't really get much from Tiona, despite narratively spending a good amount of time in her head. The flying saucer thing was cute. It's unfortunate that there was a male narrator for a book based around a female protagonist, that always feels off to me. Mr. Thorne did a fine job though, I'd listen to other books narrated by him.

Good light listen, but not completely engaging.
