When I saw that this book had drawn an average of 2 stars (which turned out to be from just one review) I felt I had to give it a boost. There is some merit in the complaint that the characters are familiar types, but the main ones are developed through superior dialogue well enough that I was interested in their experiences. The book is of the family of "weird things happen to ordinary people who only slowly come to make sense of it and take control" family, as is the other Nasir book I've read (DISTANCE HAZE) and, say, much of James Blaylock. HIGHER SPACE isn't the very best such book out there, but if a reader likes that sort of tale this one will satisfy.
