Gravity

I read this book when it came out. I just read it again, and it was a lot of fun. I hardly remembered it, so it was like the first time.

This author has many ideas for a book. So when I read this one it shows where so much research had to be done to write this book. While it was interesting it leaves one just wondering how and why some rules must be broken.

My first Tess Gerritsen book. Don’t know what to expect, and actually (stupid me), thought it was the basis for the movie “Gravity”, which I enjoyed immensely (and still do.) Well, it wasn’t, but that didn’t matter. I really enjoyed this. Great writing, good plot pacing, and sufficiently grounded in science to balance between being believable while not being overly sci-fi nerdy. The cast of characters is large, but most have some inner voices. Which gave it depth and credibility and low the interest level up. There weren’t black-and-white heroes or villains. And glad to have found this and will look for her other books.

Could not put this book down. Would make a great movie. I had a very quesey feeling picking up the Tide Pods while doing the laundry. Their consistency and blue/green color appear very much like the “Chimera” embryo. I’ll be thinking about this novel for a long time.

One of the most amazing and entertaining stories I have read in years. It must have required a lot of dedication.

I just love me a well-researched story full of excitement, with many twists! This is definitely worthy of your time.

I have been totally absorbed and fascinated. Tess Gerritsen has written many works I have enjoyed, but this is awesome. Will now be searching for more

Astronaut/physician Emma Watson (this was an odd choice. I couldn’t find a publication date on this copy, but she’s been a famous actress for quite some time. You wouldn’t name a character “Julia Roberts” unless you were going for a meta-type “but not THAT one” throughout. But I digress.) and her crew are set to go to the International Space Station when a tragedy at home means Watson must go early to substitute for an astronaut who may come home. Watson is also in the process of finalizing her divorce from former astronaut/physician Jim MacCallum, who never actually got to go into space. Watson hasn’t been at ISS long when one of the crew members stationed there becomes gravely ill. What’s wrong with him? Does it have anything to do with the experiments the crew is performing on board? And what should be done? You can tell the author did a lot of homework in writing this and the passage on space flight and life on the ISS are very good (I mean, I would know, having read Mary Roach’s book and all.) Interesting enough tale as long as you’re willing to suspend some disbelief (um, hi. MacCallum doesn’t actually work for NASA anymore. Thanks.) I appreciated the federal government’s efforts to avoid a global pandemic and wish our current President would consider doing the same (oh, yeah. Had to be said.) Good, quick quarantine read. Currently available on Kindle Unlimited.

This was the first Tess Gerritsen that I have read and it definitely will not be the last. Keep me turning the page and doing the 'I will just read the next chapter' thing all the way through. Well paced and great charters. Keep you guessing.

The chimera in the story is scary real, loved the astronaut and ISS info. Really enjoy Tess Gerritsen realness in her books.

Could not stop reading until I finnished the book once I got to fifty percent of the book. Absolutely facinating .

Read a few Tess Gerritsen novels now and am hugely impressed. This one, in particular, was gripping, superbly researched and well written. It's an easy read, well paced and believeable. The other novels by Tess that I'd read were serial killer thrillers, equally good, but I was still unsure whether this book, in a slightly different genre, would work so well. I needn't have worried, she pulls it off excellently and I'd put this in the top ten thrillers I've read. It's a straightforward thriller, not overly wordy or arty, just a great page-turner, and that's exactly what I want.
