Summary: Good start
Comment: I was lucky enough to walk into my local Waldenbooks when Mr. Cobb was there doing a books signing. I'm a big fan of scifi, so, even though I had low expectations for this book (the publisher is so small it has yet to publish a second book), I wanted to encourage more book signings in my area (perhaps by less local authors), so I bought the book and got it signed.

I must say that this book was better than I expected. While it failed to overwhelm me, it lacked closure, so I think this is intended as the beggining of a series. All together this is book presents the rough outline of a world that needs to be fleshed out. It seems to some extent like a bridge between two series that haven't been written. One about exploring other planets (31 other planets to be precise, before they came across this one), and one about these newly created immortals trapped on Redhook for quite possibly the rest of their unnaturally long lives.

I can imagine that those nano-robots would be worth a fotune to any smuggler who can sneak onto the planets surface (given time one of them could reproduce, and make an entire planet immortal) and get some. I also can't help but think that understanding human anatomy was the first step in....well...improving it.

Summary: Twist and Turns
Comment: Cool, Read it the day before and on the plane ride home and was mesmerized, I don't know when I read a book so fast, I wanted to know what was going to happen to the characters. Not just awesome science fiction with lots of great high tech gagets, but a mystery too, with an unexpected who-done-it ending.
