Interesting premise, but repetitious and endless. Could have been 1/3 the lenght. ( )

This was an excellent read. Sci fi without magical ftl bollocks. If it hasn't been optioned for a movie, I'll be very surprised. Highly recommended. ( )

Breakneck pacing, really interesting characters, so much excitement, and a nice tasty moral yet reality based core. Love, love, loved it. ( )

Awesome debut. Read it in two days, so clearly I liked it a lot. Would give 5 stars but I feel it was still a bit rough in a few places, and maybe could have been edited down a bit. But I am fully on board, have the next two books coming already. ( )

A fast fun romp around the Solar System that manages to combine pirates, intrastellar war, humour and the potential end of humanity without missing a beat.

It's far from "hard science", but it's not any more hand wavy than it needs to be to keep the plot moving. There were a few spots you don't want to think about too much, but nothing requiring you to hold your nose.

The ending was weak, and leaves you wanting more, but that's to be expected with the first book of a new series I suppose.

The characters are interesting, the backdrops have some depth, and even as it moves along well it's not all fluff - there are elements that make you stop and think.

Recommended! ( )
