I just read this on my Kindle. Previously I would never have thought about reading any Sci-Fi - sure, I've enjoyed a couple of big Sci-Fi blockbusters at the cinema, but my reading material is usually mystery/crime/thriller based - has been since I was a teenager (and I've
just turned 40 now).
OK, for hard core Sci Fi fans this is probably nothing special, but I felt pulled into the characters really well, something I look for in the other genres I usually read.
Apparently this is the first one in a series so I am looking forward to the next installment. I have also downloaded some more of his works.
This is something I never would have tried if it had not been for the Sample function of the Kindle- I'm not sure my wallet is going to thank me - though these books are only $1.16 most of the time.
