Summary: Better than the "Big Names"
Comment: It is amazing what celebrity can accomplish. Attanasio has to be one of the greatest sci-fi writers around but who do we hear about - Azimov (very formulaic and mechanical), Clarke (who has published some of the best/worst potboilers around) or any of the other "Founding Fathers" of science fiction.

How else can one praise this magnificent work of art - the characters (including the brain) are all interesting, the story is one we've heard before but is handled so well that it seems refreshingly new, the plot is especially well designed but even better is the execution. Dialogue was perfect and the writing was just this side of poetic.

The long chase scene and the switches in scenery seemed to fit in effortlessly in the plot. Great book.

Summary: One of the Greatest Sci-fi Masterpieces
Comment: When I read this book, it was breathtaking. Every line is so well written that it captures the heart, and at the same time, makes you think. One of the most well written sci-fi stories in history. A. A. Attanasio is also one of the greatest science fiction writers in history. He is very clever when using his imagination - he brings the reader into his world.

This book is a triumph. It should be hailed for all time. I loved it.

Summary: A masterpiece of SciFi
Comment: You can just imagine the sudden jolt from your last death vision to that of an alien laboratory as they revive your frozen brain and put you to work as the central computer of a mining station. This book sucks you in and sticks in your mind with its vivid imagery and rich storyline. I hope someone turns this into a good movie, it sure certainly wouldn't turn into a standard sci-fi movie (Lost in Space, Wing Commander).
