did not like it

Take one part "The Midwich Cuckoos" and one part "2001: A Space Odyssey", chop roughly.
Add One Years Subscription of "New Scientist" - first setting aside feature articles on "The History of the Cosmos" (to be used as garnish later).
Blend mix till lumpy mess and strain out any hints of believable character.
Pour slop into a Robert Heinlein rusty mould (shaped like pubescent male wish fulfillment - you know what that looks like - hint - BIG Rockets). Sprinkle with stale dust of Ayn Rand's Far right Technocracy and add a tiny drop of Essence of God - just a whiff makes all the difference. Half bake.

Serve with lots of calamari rings mmmmmm - best part of the dish.

Henry Gasko Terrific review. You have captured the essence of Stephen Baxter (at one time, our main hope of some intelligent AND entertaining hard SF. Sigh.)
