I'm at about chapter eighteen. It's okay. The plot feels like a fairly distant second to the dialogue which is fine by me although it sort of feels like nothing of real consequence is ever happening. I'm not entirely sure I believe that sexual chemistry but I'm very glad that Ellis opted out from having an actual sex scene. It feels like it's bits that didn't make it into Desolation Jones and I totally agree that I'd rather see Ellis trying to do prose science-fiction, hard stuff like Ocean, rather than a Transmet-redux of noir. It feels like a first novel in a very tangible way.
