Miguel H. (tiburon) reviewed on 4/13/2011 + 3 more book reviews

This book was much more of a detective story than traditional science fiction. The main character was a retired US astronaut who is investigating a series of unusual murders in Naples, Italy. I thought the storyline was hard to follow at times, but Lem is a literary master who never fails to entertain with the descriptive elements. He does wrap it up pretty well in the conclusion.
If you have never read Lem before, this is probably not a good book to start with.
