This book is the fictitious history of the first group of people to contact the AI that runs this solar system and created the human animal. These realistically gritty characters rush against the culling time line to push open the boundaries of hard science to prove that hard and detailed work can have some darn interesting results.

    I enjoyed it. I am not an English teacher, I don't know about style, technique, but I did finish the book. It was connected, I enjoyed the characters, I felt I knew the characters, and it took me on a science based journey that could happen. I do like real science - there's plenty of adventure to be found in advances and turns on possibilities. I can accept star gates but I don't think it will every happen. Unless you explain how a superhero or monster can do something that would require more calories than a body even contains, well, I don't find it interesting. This book has real character(s) doing interesting things with a dramatic turn of events that could happen to YOU!

    I didn't think it was going to be a copper who done it but it was. There didn't seem to be anyone remotely normal in this entire precinct. Despite that the story kept my interest. The pace was reasonable and the excerpts about life in the future were interjected here and there with horrific yet limited consequences and backed by realistic builds of explosive cabals. I read the entire book and will look for more from Hayden, thanks

    I liked it. I thought the androids were a bit tame but I like SF with a description of exotic materials, how things work 'out there' and a bit of adventure and it was all there. Also, there wasn't so much hardware description as to make it boring.
