"Haviland Tuf is an honest space-trader who likes cats. So how is it that, in competition with the worst villains the universe has to offer, he's become the proud owner of the last seedship of Earth's legendary Ecological Engineering Corps? Never mind, just be thankful that the most powerful weapon in human space is in good hands--hands which now control cellular material for thousands of outlandish creatures. Armed with this unique equipment, Tuf is set to tackle the problems that human settlers have created in colonizing far-flung worlds: hosts of hostile monsters, a population hooked on procreation, a dictator who unleashes plagues to get his own way ... and in every case, the only thing that stands between the colonists and disaster is Tuf's ingenuity--and his reputation as a man of integrity in a universe of rogues."--Page 4 of cover.

This was the first GRRM novel I've read outside of the ASOIAF series, and it definitely has a different feel. It's interesting to pick up on words and phrases that are used in passing in this book that are concepts that ASOIAF revolves around.
The plot and character development become somewhat predictable as the book moves forward, but overall it is an enjoyable young adult fiction sci-fi read.

Interesting premise. I really like Haviland Tuf, his dialogs are really funny at times. I finishd it in 2 sittings, so that's saying something. Overall one of the better books i've read this year.
