Deep and engaging
When I started reading this I was a little disappointed that we were going off on a tangent. As the novel continued though I came to love the story.
It reminds me of Iain M. Banks and Anne McCaffrey in equal measures. A universe to explore and live in. Deep philosophical questions, and a cast that doesn't die off one at a time (I hope this doesn't change in future books).
Highly recommended.
Superb Sci-fi
I found this novel by accident, and I'm glad that I did. It's a refreshing and enjoyable set of characters and universe that reminds me of Iain M Banks, and I can give no higher praise.
