Would you have read it if you didn't know Bear from his SF? Thrillers  
are a much more lucrative genre than SF so it's not surprising SF  
writers sometimes have a try at it (Gregory Benford's _Artifact_ was  
another) but I think they usually have too much SF for the thriller  
crowd and not enough for the SF crowd.
