The weapon came with a shoulder harness and a leather holster designed for the belt or to be strapped to a leg. p56
Isn't there a way to say what the weapon is without all of this roundabout? Most people old enough to read this book would know, you know?
The computer wasn’t set up for separate users, so he didn’t need IDs or passwords. p81
I found that most convenient for a building with several floors and a janitor. Why wouldn't someone with information that was worth stealing not protect that information? Maybe I missed something.
I found that getting inside the mountain was a lot like a copy of Mission to Mars in some places. It really seemed identical, which took away some of the interest for me, I think. The story lost some of its originality at that point.
“Don’t you feel invited?”
“Sort of, but that doesn’t mean I have to go in there.” p285
True of many situations. It's a shame books always make people feel invited just to have an excuse to get them in a place without a bunch of other people around them.
“Kevin, you’re okay. We can go back later. Your intent lets you move around.”
“Thanks a lot. You could have told me.” p288
He did, on page 271.
Not sure how I felt about this book. It was interesting but it seemed to lack focus somehow. As a result, I wasn't all that focused on the content.
