The next problem I’m having is simply that it’s been so long that I’ve read a physical book that this is tough. The story is still interesting. That last scene was quite wild and some things definitely have to be explained.

Still reading

I think my reading experience is suffering from all the other Mars stories and current Mars research and science that I’ve been exposed to before reading it. The opening was so intense and the subsequent section intriguing but the science feels dated, which is not the book’s fault. I shall have to mentally adjust to “this is both what was known and also fiction”.
