This books is a pleasure to read. I like the convenience of a Kindle reader. However, I enjoy the tactile feel of a paper book. There is something that I find relaxing with a real book in my hand that is lacking with a Kindle. This book despite light on action, and no graphic sex, has been a good read. It is all about one woman and her effort to finish a mission from more than 80 years ago.

I have not read a whole lot of SciFi because most of it lately has not appealed to me. This novel falls in the "Humanist Movement" within SciFi where the story is more about people rather than the political. Like the early stories of Heinlein, Asimov, Norton, and Burroughs - this is a story about a person and what happens not a learning lesson on the evils of wayward government and benefits of social engineering.
