Easy to read, an enjoyable sci fi adventure set on a new planet that doesn't make you think too hard, but does contain a sprinkling of ethics around cloning and colonisation. The main character is kinda dumb and I enjoyed that.

A fun sci-fi read, I enjoyed the world and its history and the fact that while this had some small twists, it wasn't a full-on TWIST book but rather just a good story set within the confines and technology of another world. Excited to see the film!

Me ha parecido increible el libro. Entronca con los problemas filosóficos presentes en la mejor ciencia ficción clásica a la vez que tiene un tono sencillo yaen narrador que se dirige directamente el lector. Me recuerda a la vez a Solaris y el Juego de Ender. Deseando leer más.

This book started out fun and the voice was great, but the focus lingered way too long on Mickey absolutely failing in every way to stay hidden and not long enough on the entire plot, which was basically shoved into the last 50 pages. The antagonists were interesting but barely described and the solution that works in the end is ridiculous.

Scalzi-esque male cis protagonist who signed up to die a lot, and some unexpected things occur - including aliens!
