I gave up after maybe 25 pages, because I could not keep track of the characters and the plot never continued for more than a page and a half before a new one started. I don't understand how this author keeps getting published. The writing is horrible. The concept could be great, if he narrowed his point of view to one or two characters. The reader does not need all that information. This novel is way too descriptive and doesn't have nearly enough action. The concepts are interesting, but there's not much engagement with the story or the characters - i.e. a space station blows up and everyone dies, but you won't really "feel" anything about this event because it was only described to you, it didn't engage you. I made it halfway through when I realized I didn't give a hoot about any of the characters, or what happened next. Life's too short and there are too many books out there to waste any more time with this. (And, besides, I hear that this first book in the series stops very abruptly because you're expected to read the next book in the series to find out what happens.) So, what happened?... I donated my copy and moved on to something that might stimulate me. This is an epic space opera of the old school. While it doesn't have the razor edge feel of top class science fiction it is nonetheless an enjoyable and entertaining read, with many different interesting characters and worlds. I would rate this as a good holiday read. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

The writing is dreadful and monotonous and character development is so inconsequential that I now, mere months after reading this book, cannot think of any important character name, nor anything worth bothering about them. I simply lacked any involvement in this work.
How this should be spun out to 7 books, I do not know. I think the author should concentrate on one good book before attempting such a long series.
This is a book to make you embarrassed to read science fiction. Needless to say I will not be bothering with the sequels (despite the shameless way this book stops mid story in an attempt to force you on). (
