Abandoned after 150 pages. The writing felt bloated, the story unfocused, and the worldbuilding too obvious in its dependence on a few ideas (joules, genes). To me this kind of SF already feels dated, or maybe my tastes have evolved - I might have liked this more at the beginnings of my forays into the genre.

A shame, as I liked his next book - The Water Knife - a lot: that is a lot less pompous.
