I think marketing did this book a great disservice by not making it clear it's a prequel to Borne. I have a feeling a lot of people picked this up as a standalone and were left hopelessly confused. I almost did! But you gotta read Borne to read this.

You know how as a writer, you sometimes just want to write about the world you've created in itself, all the little details you created outside of the plot? Dead Astronauts is this. It reads like a bewildering lyrical fairytale at times, which I loved, but I also understand why people might hate.
