Equal parts amazing (the attack on New York) and silly (the lead character's absurd "mission" and how it ultimately plays out). I never would've given it a chance if I hadn't stumbled across the hardcover at the Dollar Tree(!), and while I'm not sorry I read it I certainly won't seek out Baxter's other Wells sequel (to The Time Machine). Worth a look for the curious, but I found it entirely too uneven. #sciencefiction
