This is an old-school sci-fi adventure, with good guys in spaceships fighting bad guys in spaceships, you know what I'm talking about. The good stuff.
It's clear that the author is having fun exploring the world and the characters here, and that fun shows up on the page.
Even when things get rough for the good guys, I thought "Hey, that's cool," not "I hope they don't die."
The whole book is clever and fun, but Carter specializes in space fight scenes. In movies, those are special effects. Carter has an unlimited budget in his book, but he still restrains himself from writing "BOOOOOM" and "WHOOO-HOO" on each page during the fights.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
