Project Sail
Commander Jonathan Hawthorne thought his victory at the Battle of Ganymede had earned him a comfortable retirement as a cruise ship captain. His employers had other plans, however, assigning the former war hero to Project Sail, man's first interstellar journey. Such a historic voyage should be reason for celebration, but a climate of political skullduggery, corporate espionage, and trigger-happy militaries demands the mission proceed in secret. As he travels across the solar system gathering his crew, Hawthorne finds that space exploration has been less about adventure and discovery and more about land grabs and mineral rights. From war zones where battles are choreographed to allow the meeting of mining quotas to colonists trapped in crowded domes, humanity has seemingly created circles of Hell among the stars. Hawthorne expects Project Sail is more of the same, another corporate undertaking that will end in resource exploitation. However, a surprise attack on an orbital shipyard, a series of suspicious deaths, and a mysterious construction project on Uranus' moon Titania lead him to believe that this mission is more than it seems. From the ruins of England to the frozen battlefields of Titan, Hawthorne finds a dozen reasons to escape the growing chaos, only to realize that wherever man travels, his sins follow.

Slow paced but well written
Didn't find this one a rip roaring page Turner, although that may say more about me than the book. I found it slow with oodles of character development, none of whom you can really warm to. All of the action takes place at the end of the book and although everything is more or less resolved still feels a little anti climatic. One line that annoys is "waiting for the teapot to whistle" what kind of crazy teapots do they have in the future? However it is well written and makes perfect sense. Just not for me.
