I was hoping for more from Robert Forward’s Timemaster. As a working physicist admired by the best science fiction writers of the era, I was not ready for a novel that harkens back to E. E. “Doc” Smith. Randy, a talented astroengineer, discovers an alien race with “negative matter,” whatever that is. The next thing you know, we are off to black holes.
Long on "hard science," short on character, this book is just over the top. I have to admit I am not a big Forward fan anyway, but this book is rather like a Heinlein wannabe.
