This was by far my most enjoyable read so far this year - all categories.
 
It is rare to find an author that is able to write stories that combine an interesting plot with relevant discussions on scientific discoveries, religion/philosophy, as well as keeping a nerve in the story with regards to both suspense and adult content.

High quality narrative and flow. Near perfect editing.

When I put it down I immediately looked for parts 2 and 3. This should be a must read for anyone browsing this category.
