Can we navigate around it, whatever it is?" "Negative. It's as if we were captured." … . Jenna barked to Q "let's recompute our trajectory and get us out of here somehow, STAT! "

I liked the first book, .99999, but this sequel was a miss. A poorly told story that didn't engage. I did somewhat enjoy the ending, but by that time, I just wanted to finish the book. The many editing errors were also an unnecessary distraction. The story premise and ideas were full of potential, to bad they didn't tell a better story.
