Pushing Ice (Alastair Reynolds) —
The basic premise is enticing — one of Saturn’s moons suddenly taking off toward another solar system! — but the writing is full of every possible clichéd development and clichéd dialogue in order to fill time. I’m eight hours in and nothing gives me any indication that the resolution will be worth sticking with it. (I’ve only made it so far because I thought the audiobook was 11 hours long. Woke up this morning to find out that it was actually 19.)
And, boy, did the pompous audio narrator not help.
