  1. 5/5 Anders R

    En riktigt bra science fiction bok som håller än idag. Även om den vetenskapliga fysiken är påhittad är den trovärdig och det politiska landskapet är ytterst intressant. Det visar på hur de olika politiska systemen har sina begränsningar. Det är inte ensidigt.
    Och berättelseformen med tidshopp ger också djup.
    Det berättas tillräckligt men inte för mycket på ett snyggt sätt. Rekommenderas!
