Superluminal

Author: Vonda McIntyre
Published: 1983
 
Earlier in life I felt I always had to read a book through, first page to last. I learned to give up on a book, freeing myself. Now I find that is habit to be cautious of as well.
 
I almost gave up on Superluminal as the main character, Laenea, is rather self-involved, eager to show-off she is a pilot when she has not yet flown in transit.
 
Then, she disappears (literally), and the narrative is taken over by her lover, Radu Dracul, and the book becomes very interesting.
 
A good read, and a good lesson in patience.
