I won't summarize the plot of Connor's Light, as that has been done in previous reviews. I will, however comment on the way this book was written.Not a typical sci-fi book, this one reads almost like an internal dialog, not that dissimilar to ones I have.  At times, this style gets a bit wordy, but it is consistent with the writing style. If a reader is looking for an action-packed, shoot 'em up, this isn't it.  It is a thought-provoking, intellectual journey consisting of a lot of ideas. At times, the detail was so meticulous that it was also a bit tedious to read and to stay focused.  However, I enjoyed this tale's differences. I also liked the way that the final chapter tied up the loose ends, although the author could have written a sequel -- but to describe the aftermath may not have followed the same style.  Instead, the outcome is told to the reader via the course of another dialog -- this time between a writer and Conner's daughter, a participant.
