A review by amshofner
Backscatter by Gregory Benford

3.0

Backscatter is for people who...

...like a little sci-fi in their lives
...are thrilled by a little race against time
...enjoy software that's unintentionally smartass
...find new discoveries exciting
...don't mind a quick conclusion to the story
...need a quickie stand alone to fill their lonely nights

Backscatter was a free book I read on Tor's website on July 10, 2013 for the Why Buy the Cow? reading challenge.
