I finished *Cryoburn* the day before I went to hospital and it is, of course, very good.

A few thoughts with spoilers:



The selling and reselling of the frozen dead in a moribund and corrupt market is so markedly a comment on the mad financial deals that preceded and caused the global financial meltdown. Also, the protection of the rich and not the poor - seems like a comment on where America is currently at.

Lovely to see Miles so happy in his life, with his irrepressible curiosity intact.

OMG, the ending!
