I know this was discussed here before, but I really just wanted to say something.

I've finally picked this one up and what a joy to read. This is fantastic literature, what a writer.

I enjoyed the Mars series and it seems like Mr Robinson has only improved as a writer.

The chapter describing the asteroid habitat build process was just beautiful.

The way he imagines the way humanity makes the whole solar system their home, it's like true humanity, truly living with the "land" so to speak, with the way the system works.

Just had to gush a bit in public, thanks for your time
