This was a long book - about 550 pages - which I found a little daunting. However, I did not find reading it at all hard, as it is well paced and all the characters quite well defined. The story is sci fi, but it does not concentrate on the science and technology too much; the main story lines are around the people and their motivations and responses, along with the complex politics that is behind their mission. The story is exciting without finding the need to go off into the fantastical - no little green men, but events that would shake the world if the story were to come true. It is believable enough that I think it might just.
In any case, I look forward to reading the sequel in due course.
