A good sci-fi thriller with some science sprinkled in. If you love “The Martian”, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this too.

Well-written and engaging book, even if a few of the characters were a little hard to believe.

the author info at the end of the book bragged about how hard they worked to get the science accurate…unfortunately that's what ruined the book for me. I think the story and plot were very good but science info was extremely over done and just kept killing the story. Really mind numbing. Through large sections of the book all I heard was blah, blah,blah, then really boring blah. I was listening to it on audiobook while traveling and had to switch books so I wouldn't fall asleep driving.
So disappointing since the characters were really great and well developed.
I'm sure there are some out there who love hearing all the detailed science crap, but I just want a good story, not a physics lesson.

The first half was a little too science-y for me, but it picked up and ended very well.

Really enjoyed the beginning and middle of this book but it got pretty predictable towards the end. Overall it was pretty entertaining and I can see it being made into a SyFy movie or something.
