Like one of my all-time favorites (not 'fav'), White Lotus' ~ John Hersey, I did not care if Gary Gibson's 'Stealing Light,' even at 608 pages, ever ended. I do not comprehend what techniques he used, but, for 20 evenings, I just loved crawling inside this SyFy. Like many science fiction tales the ending was fairly incomprehensible, but it was quick. I'm awarding 'Stealing Light' 5 Goodread Stars!

Gibson's Tor-published 2007 'Stealing Light' is excellent SyFy. Headed for a rare 5 Stars 'Love it.' It's got none of today's WOKEness. Really hard to be "Woke" when you dealing with different alien species. The protagonist is a gal, Dakota, who is a "gal" weaker than men, roughed-up by men, but very tough, very real. It's a bedtime book and I can't wait to read more of it every night. Good that it's 608 pages.
