I think that's a 2.5 rating. The science speculation in this book, the mysterious object on the moon and the teleportation technology, is seriously chilling. I loved that part of it. It was interesting and terrifying. Unfortunately most of this book is about some bitter, obsessed middle-aged men and their pissing contests and whatever it means to be a “real man” in the 1960's. There are two female characters: one is a one-dimensional femme fatale who only stays with real men, and the other is nothing but an opportunity for one of the male characters to talk about his feelings because he can't do that to other male characters.
