Changes

Still, none of these things takes away significantly from this novel's strengths. This is an enthralling character study into how extreme situations can engender extreme behaviour and how obsessing over the bigger picture can make us blind to the things right in front of us. Although probably aimed more at casual readers than hardened genre fans, the science fiction elements are handled competently and the strength of McDonagh's descriptions go a long way towards making up for any lack of originality. Told with passion and real skill ''I Have Waited, and You Have Come' is a disturbing, but rewarding read that makes a virtue of brevity and a narrow focus.
