Blending scientific fact into a science fiction story and having it result in a plausible narrative is difficult.

Since it is obvious that you enjoyed this author's style, you might also enjoy Robert A. Heinlein. Time Enough for Love; The Lives of Lazarus Long and Stranger in a Strange Land are two of my favorites. One of the interesting things about Heinlein was that many of his scientific concepts hadn't yet been developed when he wrote his books.

But, I digress. Arturo Riojas sounds like an amazing author who knows how to make real science interesting for those who don't enjoy textbook style learning. Your enthusiastic review has convinced me to give this book a chance. Well done, and thank you for your recommendation. 💕
