4.0 out of 5 stars Old book with a different title
Reviewed in Germany on April 20, 2021
When I started to read this, I suddenly realized that I already had this book - with a different title !
This is identical with an old book called BUYING TIME !
So they just published it again with a different title ...

A long time favourite of mine. I've read it quite a few times and still enjoy it so much. My home state of Queensland gets a mention and all.

Really enjoyed this book. Some great interesting ideas and a keen page turner. I enjoyed the twists and turns and loved how all the lose ends were wrapped up. Highly recommend this book if your interested in science fiction.
