Why read it?
2 authors picked Gravity as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Many medical thrillers are set in a hospital or similar setting, but this one is, I believe, the only one set on the International Space Station.

Her extensive background research is evident in the out-of-this-world gory scenes that leaves no doubt of the plausibility of a deadly microbe.
From Carlos' list on science fiction revealing tragic human emotion.
