It does. That’s all part of the drama.

One of the best books I’ve ever read.

Agreed. I bought it at the airport for a transatlantic flight the year it came out and started reading before lift off. Completed it before landing. Best flight ever.

Would it be good on audio?

Maybe. Most of it is just good storytelling. There are some light equations and graphs occasionally.
