Harry Myers
From the master of the space opera comes a dark, mind-bending adventure spread across time and space, where Doctor Silas Coade is tasked with keeping his crew safe as they adventure across the galaxy in search of a mysterious artifact.
In the 1800s, a sailing ship crashes off the coast of Norway. In the 1900s, a Zepellin explores an icy canyon in Antarctica. In the far future, a spaceship sets out for an alien artifact. Each excursion goes horribly wrong. And on every journey, Dr. Silas Coade is the physician, but only Silas seems to realize that these events keep repeating themselves. And it's up to him to figure out why and how. And how to stop it all from happening again.

At least until we find out the real "current era" space adventure.
Then is when we learn this novel is about what almost all of Reynolds' books are about: identity. And it is a fun new look at this time honored Reynolds theme.
It was over way too soon and the narration was perfect. I will listen to this many times. Well worth the credit.

That said, the pieces start to fall into place somewhere towards the middle of the book and the last 3-4 hours are quite gripping. Admittedly, I toyed with the idea of giving up several times at the start but the narration kept me going. I found it tricky to appreciate the story and thought, perhaps, that too much time was spent on describing the surroundings when it should have been invested in getting the reader closer to the nexus at hand - this, after all, is a story set in the future and in space when it couldn't be further from it at the start.
I am glad that I did persevere though as the last few hours of the book made the journey worthwhile. I was spurred on by the other reviewers who also felt the same. I found myself mystified by the twists and relieved that everything made sense in the end. The emotional journey was incredible too as I felt (towards the end) very much for the main character (Dr. Silas Coade). I suspect that this was a combination of the good writing and excellent narration.
In short, for those who are struggling with the book, know that the end is worth the effort. The complexities will eventually come together and make sense. For me, I hated the start but could not get enough of the end. Perhaps that was the author's intention all along and if it was, it worked.
Outstanding, if you don't give up!
