Ok. I liked the ending. Getting there was a little bit harder than I’d expected. The story progresses slowly but kept me interested in the next thing to happen even as I was put out it was taking so long. The crew of a multi century space voyage return to earth, get involved with Martians, deal with a savage non-technology evolved Earthers, and finally hope to be rescued. Add in a cross country trek and you get most of this tale. I’m glad I finished it. But only recommend it to those sci-fi fans that can deal with slowly evolving action or anyone that likes to think about the potential future of mankind.
