C. F. Waller's Palindrome 656 is an interesting read, not a genre I usually gravitate to, Futuristic Science Fiction, but I wanted to give it a try. Slow at first, it eventually engaged me in the protagonist, Hannah Reinier, whose dark complicated internal dialogue is written with lots of twists and turns which kept me interested. Waller cannot be faulted for lack of imagination of adventure in storytelling, but where improvement could help is with the editing. Impressive is the back and forth in time, and amount of detail work, which is not easy for any writer. For a first novel it's a great accomplishment and the bottom line, I enjoyed the read.
