Wow! This book completely surprised me in all the best ways and grabbed me from the first page and never let go. The futuristic setting and 3-D printing of humans kept me guessing the entire time; it was very well written so that I had no trouble understanding and accepting that the technologies were happening and being used by future generations.
The suspense kept me reading and wanting to get back to this book as soon as possible. The characters popped off the pages and had both good and questionable traits to make them feel real.
The events unfolding in the story made me question my own thoughts about human exploration into space and inhabiting other worlds. I questioned the morality of my own survival instincts--what would I have done in Jessica's place? Is self preservation more or less important knowing you can start over despite poor choices and possibly lose part of your memories in the process? Is abandoning other human beings just because they can be reprinted right to do?
Sci-fi fans are going to love reading this novel. The ending fit the questions raised by the plot and will stay with me for a long time.
