![]() ![]() ![]() Happy ending? Sort of-but only if you think the movie A L I E N ended on a pleasant note. First Contact Science Fiction? It has all the essential elements. Character study? Certainly true of the protagonist. Vampire story? Of a fashion, but not in any way the typical fashion. Hard Science Fiction Space Opera? Certainly. I found this novel to be excellent but difficult to categorize. I really enjoyed the advancing narrative interspersed with flashbacks exploring the main character’s psyche. The protagonist never seems to be comfortable in his own skin, and since Watts manages to build a certain empathy for him, you the listener are kept off balance as well. Peter Watts has crafted a novel that is quite unsettling. ![]()
