I gave it another good try but with the addition of the new genius female character (*cough* Mary Sue *cough*) I just couldn't. So many people love this book, but it's not for me.

So far the main character, Horza, has been in three life threatening situations and I've not cared. I don't need to be blown away, but I'd like to feel at least a little emotionally invested in him. The many long boring descriptions of his numerous crew mates and hamfisted communist utopian bad guys haven't helped. I'm going to keep reading for a bit but with much less enthusiasm than I started the book with.
