Hi There, Did you know that you can save books into your library to create gift lists, reading lists, etc? You can also mark books that you're reading, or want to read.
Having only read the first 10 Chapters, Drake manages to push full steam ahead with a concept of space travel by populations that struggle with modern technology at a most basic level - yet having access and the full understanding of extremely complex and modern equipment. A paradox that blends into a very well written novel with tight action scenes and three di-mentional characters. Well worth the read.
