A wonderful introduction or revisit to Ben Bova, drawing on what works best in science fiction. I enjoyed the character-based nature of the story, and Bova’s inventive plotting.

I was easily drawn into the book. I started to care about Sam Gunn Jr from the beginning. I enjoyed the way Bova would think of new ways to get Jr out of questionable situations. I also liked the way Bova would develop all the characters that Jr met throughout the book. Bova also did a good job of describing the different places Jr would end up exploring. However I found the end to be missing certain important information and Jr’s handling of the villain unsatisfactory. In addition, some of the content was a bit dated. Overall this is a book well worth reading. Thank you to Netgalley and Blackstone Publishing for the advance reader copy.
