A great new concept in high-tech terror!
Alien life is NOT friendly and peace-loveing, but neither is is evil. It is simply, terrifyingly, ALIEN. "Reach" swallows one in a universe both otherworldly and familiar - the more so because the logic of it is inexorable, the conclusion inescapable.

Gibson does a very nice job of creating a new type of villian. I found his explanation of black holes to be the most clear, and the best for laymen. Nice interplay between characters.
