Unless the Audible version I heard was a wildly lost translation, this is simply not a good nor well written book.

The many intriguing concepts (an extra ⭐ for the handful in there) were consistently undermined by overtly stale, flat characters and some laughably shlock counterparts to the intrigue (TriSolarans, wait, what?). All blended to create a singularly enervating experience.

So many wasted opportunites by an author who clearly struggles to either grasp, and most certainly express, the nuance of human emotions and experience.
