With so many ideas to juggle, Peters does a great job of making it all make sense; the alien planets, the fungal drugs and the AI lover. Therefore, it is a slight shame that the crime element of the tale becomes a little too confused, with so many leads the reader can become a little lost. However, when you are lost in such a vibrant and alternative world you don't mind too much. Peters would have an absolute classic had the book managed to control the complexities of the crime genre element to the same standard as the science fiction elements.
Drugs and science fiction sometimes go well together as [[Afterparty by Daryl Gregory]] attests to great effect. You can also write complex ideas well if you have the know-how: [[Sand by Hugh Howey]]. You might enjoy [[Box Nine by Jack O'Connell]], but I had my doubts. You might also enjoy [[What Lot's Wife Saw by Ioanna Bourazopoulou and Yannis Panas (Translator)]].
