Detour

Read this for book club, I think we collectively didn’t love it but we haven’t met up yet.

Key Ideas

Seven astronauts get sent to space by a Jeff Bezos like character (Jeff Ward) and they come back to an alternate timeline.

Highlights

Best part was discovering Cosmic Background (what’s it called) and the Cosmological Coldsports.

My Take

Not that great. Felt like Jeff Ward was trying to get a show made and he cranked out half a book (seriously, it ended with To Be Continued). You follow seven people getting spent to space and they’re seven of the most boring people they could find. Poorly fleshed out. 👎👎
