Reviews

[David · Rating 3 out of 5]

A well-written space opera of the nanotech/singularity/FTL genre. Lots of action and suspense, intricate and self-consistent setting, it has it all: romance, space-time shattering battles, and intrigue. If it has one weakness, it is that some of the trans-human characters seem too human. But then, that may well be the point.

Rarely does a sci-fi novel take you on a wild mental ride these days, but this one does. Great fun too.
