And it turns out this is one is OK. I would have said it was good, perhaps very good, but it is let down by the occasional infodump of stuff completely irrelevant to the story. The main instance is a long, boring, explanation of a theory about how subatomic particles are put together, and how the big bang may have happened, which could
all have been replaced by simply saying in a couple of sentences that some new theories had lead to a cheap way to produce large quantities of antimatter.
Now onto a SF/Mystery,
The Counterfeit Heinlein by Laurence M. Janifer. One of his stories about Gerald Knave, Survivor. I find I bought this one back in July 2003 - but I don't think I've read it yet. I remember enjoying the previous one,
Alienist.
