Thank you. Matthew says he’s handed the book over to his dad to read now!

I’m glad you enjoyed Datonga, and hope it gets you into science fiction, which I loved as a teenager (and still do). I’m especially happy that you appreciated the neurodiversity of the characters.
I tried to tell an exciting story, and it can be difficult to follow the plot when time travel is possible, so it was good to hear that it was fast moving but understandable. I was fascinated by time loops when I first read that they are possible within the known laws of science.
I hope your Dad enjoys the book as much as you did!
Thanks very much for your positive review. 🙏
