The story moves along at a good clip; the 300-page "exposition" claim from another reader still rankles. Gloria Swanson (or Tallulah Bankhead?) said when she reads biographies she skips to the part where the subject starts having sex.
In Termination Shock, you can start reading at pg. 274, Gloria. That's well before the "exposition" limit, I'd say.
Read it, it's a wild ride.

It's not 300 pages of exposition; if it's the tale of the queen, the action started as soon as the wing touched the ground - and they burned up the plane.
"... like tributaries feeding into a river high mountains, all contributed their force to what happened next." (start of the next chapter after this, but pertinent). He's laying a lot of brickwork, but the foundation is solid and the action has already begun.

This just came in, and I am very excited to get into it - but here I am blogging about it and not reading it.
Highly anticipated work by my favorite living writer. The New Yorker review was a slog, here's hoping the book is not!
