I read this for a monthly book club.
An interesting premise, that doesn't quite live up to other examples of the genre that it references.
The characters were largely flat and unsympathetic and their reactions to various far-fetched situations amounted to "huh, weird."
Also, one of the main characters, who is obsessed with getting to the top of a spooky tower is named..Roland Childe.
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came indeed.

Awesome space body-horror in a short package. The RS universe really is a bottomless place for concepts and adventures.
