Constance, or Connie, is our main protagonist throughout the story, or should I say stories, that we follow both on earth, and on a spaceship called the Orb.
The Orb is weeks, if not days, away from a final plunge into the atmosphere of Jupiter, and Constance wants to know why the Curators, the “people” in charge of the Orb, don’t seem to be doing anything about it.
The Earth-bound Constance is finally meeting her benefactor of many, many years, but he’s kind of creepy and things aren’t the way Constance had always believed them to be.
This story alternates between two realities/timelines. It’s written in a way that you very quickly know which you’re in, so following along is not confusing. (The chapter titles help too.) Short chapters keep the story, both stories, moving quickly and it’s easy to lose yourself in her plight along the way.
Character building can always be a challenge when many of the same people are in both timelines. Paul Awad and Kahryn O’Sullivan slowly work in most of the characters so we feel like we know them by the end, but they don’t get so in depth you could write up an FBI profile.
You also won’t have your knowledge of technology, astronomy and quantum physics challenged with this book as the authors don’t require us to have a PhD to understand what’s going on.
Probably due to the last two points, another reviewer described this as a Young Adult (YA) book. I definitely wouldn’t go that far. True, if you’re looking to have your intellect challenged, this might not be the book for you. However, if you’re looking to be entertained with a well written science fiction book with some suspense and twists and turns, this one is highly recommended.… (mehr)
