i think i've finished it at some point, not sure now. what i remember though is: this was sooooo boring =( i'm sorry, i do love sci-fi and space operas specifically, but... just don't know how i could compare this to, say, «the expanse»?

not bad as those mass-produced thrillers go; i'll give one star less for the unexpected and rather awkwardly cringy transformation from a spy thriller into your typical a-stranger-menaces-to-murder-a-family thriller with porn elements… but hey, the author was probably bored himself and had to experiment, lol.

loved this novel. i don't know how i could have missed this one in my younger days. for some reason i considered harrison to be too... non-serious as a sci-fi writer. i was mistaken.

надзвичайно занудна манера автора описувати події та технології радше як розповідати історію — перетворює неймовірні космічні пригоди на монотонну «жуйку». слухав-слухав, наче крізь нескінченне поле плентався… вислухав таки. на трієчку.
