This novel I enjoyed however it is not an easy read and some people will not like it. It is only a couple of hundred pages long but has a lot packed into it. The central story about deciphering an alien message is interesting as are all the characters. There is a lot of joining the dots to be done as the author does not explain everything, this I like but some people will struggle with it. The main action scenes are riveting and very enjoyable occasionaly it lapses in to very literay passages which I did not fully understand. It is a book I will read again as there is so much I did not fully understand or appreciate.
