Book — Century Rain by Alastair Reynolds

Got this as a holiday present at the end of last year, because I'd enjoyed his Inhibitors books. Started reading it. Put it down. It gathered dust. Picked it up again. Looked at the ending. Read a bit more. Put it down. Decide “I really don't give a damn about these people, or about the puzzle.” — not that his people have ever been at all loveable, even when compared with such unlikely candidates as Soryu-san.

Not recommended.
