This was a lot of fun with some cool little twists along the way. The main character annoyed me just a little bit - and you're in his head the entire time - so it took a while for me to get into it. But as he kept remembering more, I had to find out what happened next and how he got there. There were some things that I had a hard time suspending my disbelief for though mainly how quickly he learned this musical language after making first contact! But I also don't see the whole world banding together to solve a problem like the sun getting dimmer and letting Stratt have authority to just blow past bureaucracy - even if it means the extinction of the human species... But maybe I'm too much of a pessimist?

A fast paced, light-hearted read. One of those rare books where I finished it and immediately read it again. Which is when I discovered all the telegraphing in the book! Job well done Weir.
