Tau Zero

This book was very hard science fiction. I understood a lot of it, but I studied some physics and astronomy in college and enjoyed relativity. I think Anderson did a really good job of explaining the physics in lay terms, but it still might be tough for some people. And that's the bright spot of this book, the physics. The human interaction, on the other hand, is not Anderson's forte, at least not in this book. It's soapy and melodramatic. The basic plot is good, but the subplots with the characters are lacking. It made it a bit of a slog to get through because I never found myself caring for any of the characters.
