review:
This is a tightly edited, sharp, and consistent book that starts off as a conventional realistic near-future sci-fi concerning the politics in a solar system where planets have been colonised. and quickly turns in to a good space opera with a hook for future titles. Excellent world building, setup, characters that aren't shallow, and the reading is enjoyable. I think I will be reading the entire series if the second book is as entertaining as this one. And also the TV series would be something to look forward to.,
