If you are new to mysteries and suspense, then perhaps you will think this is a great read. If you like space and the possibilities of space then perhaps you will think this is a great read. If you like the jargon of space and NASA then you will think this is a great read.But it is not. The writing is very simplistic. The plot is transparent early on, and thus there is no suspense. The use of flashbacks and scene chopping is maintained through a great deal of the work and makes the book a puzzle to read.The premise started well, and if the book had gone in the direction of a Crichton thriller with the use of the biochemistry arena that the jacket purports it will, then the story would have succeeded far better. In all waste your money elsewhere, Cassutt is not ready for fiction.
