If you like real-science science-fiction, read this book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Paul Cook's latest novel was difficult to put down. It starts with a mystery that leads the reader through the chapters with a strong desire to find out what is really happening. The findings behind the plot were a pleasant surprise. Cook's knowledge of science supports the portrayal of the characters and their unique situation, and his imagination is a joy to witness. The book was fast paced and could easily be a hit motion picture. The descriptions were vivid and they brought the reader into the fortress that is anchored to the sun, as well as, the underlying motivations of the characters. If unexpected twists and plot turns are what you like, and you enjoy the application of real science to a futuristic setting - then this is the book for you. Anything short of revealing the plot, could not do this book justice. You must read it and find out for yourself. Highly recommended.
A very entertaining tale with splendid surprises.

I read this book by the suggestion of others. I was not disappointed! It was a very good story, with clever solutions to interesting puzzles. One additional plus; Doc Savage fans are going to love this story (look for the hidden references). I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and highly recommend it for casual reading
