Haven't read that.
I like sci-fi where the sci-fi is more of the setting than the plot, as I think I've said before. I'm all for gadgets and space travel and all that...but for the most part I don't care about how they work, so long as I understand that they do. ;-)
I guess it's why I've always been more interested in the time travel type sci-fi than in the space battle sort. Time travel automatically assumes you have to suspend disbelief, so they don't tend to work in equations so much.
For a long time that was the softest SF I could stand to read.
