I haven't read a hard science fiction book in years, so I didn't know if this would be too technical and bore me. No danger of that in here! The story was interesting, I cared about the characters, and there was no cliffhanger. It read quickly and had a good editor. I recommend this book to anyone, actually!

You will need customer service because the dome cracks with regular use after weeks to months, and it discolors as well. I've gone through several. Expect high up-charges for shipping; I was quoted $70 to return the product. NuWave offers customer service through Hearthware. They're open until 4:30pm CST and you can expect to be on hold for at least 20 minutes after you make your way through the automated prompts. It cooks food well, but it's bulky, the stand for the motor is not built in, so set the dome and heating assembly carefully or it will come crashing down. That was the fate of my first NuWave. I babied my second one, didn't even use the stand. Instead I set the whole upper assembly aside flat on the counter. Still, with regular use, it cracked in 10 months. I didn't call in until 13 months because the 3 year warranty covered this apparatus top to bottom. That's what they told me at the time of purchase. Now they're saying that the 3 year warranty only covers the motor. NuWave recently started offering an improved dome with a 5 year warranty for $50 plus $13+ shipping. It arrived damaged. Given that the product is defective, it would make sense to provide existing customers with a free replacement. New NuWaves also come with the defective, prone to cracking and yellowing dome. If you must have a NuWave, I recommend that you make the purchase at BedBath. Their return policy is solid.
