Trade Review

... very well written and easy to read.

-- Neil Sheeley, Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ

This novel invites readers to experience an inside view of how science in and out of the Ivy League works all while following a suspenseful story.

-- Gerald North, Distinguished University Professor, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas

This is a charming novel set in the life of an astrophysicist. Readers are treated to beautiful descriptions of meetings, towns— particularly Prague—and thought provoking ideas.
