Ridiculously bad. It's the "Waiting for Godot" of SF novels. Things transpire, but nothing actually happens. The author will never be accused of using a paragraph to advance the story when 12 pages will due. Just exasperating.

Is this book proof the Hugo many years ago became a virtue signaling popularity contest? Yes.

Will I be reading or listening to the 2nd part, All Clear? Hell no.

Good narrator--thank God.
