A review by yvarg
Tau Zero by Poul Anderson

adventurous challenging medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.5

I find it interesting that this falls very definitively into the hard sci-fi camp, yet the presentation of its concepts is almost entirely through a third-person view of dialog between characters. Some of the dialog feels pretty stiff for this reason.
