This was a fun read. Really cool interesting and fascinating concept with the vast labyrinthine seemingly never ending pathways linking different planets and parts of space together paired really well with a main character full of sardonic wit. Tonally it's just a delight to follow Gary's progress through the artefact as the story flips between his on going exploration and the origins of how he first ended up becoming lost and alone in such an alien place. Possibly would have been nice had it been longer but as a snapshot into this mysterious space and how Gary is changed by his adventure there it works well and makes for a very enjoyable self contained reading experience.
