Swarm, by B. V. Larson

Although I don't generally read sci fi, I do love a bargain.   So when I saw this at a low price at the Kindle store, I couldn't resist -- less expensive than a magazine, it was apt to keep me busy on airline travel.

But wow!   What a great read!    This read quite a bit like my favorite sci fi writer's work, but it was instead written by Mr Larson -- whose books I will now seek out.
