Reception
“This is a bold and fascinating mystery novel of ideas”, said Ian McEwan of the book in advance of its publication. "John David Morley enfolds science and human loss with great fictional cunning."[1]
gollark: I assume you're about to say "well, if [POLITICAL IDEOLOGY I DISLIKE] takes over, everything will be so utterly awful that it would be better if everyone died".
