Review by: rssc on Sep. 30, 2012 :
This is an amazing piece of science fiction with great characters, amazing but believable technology, great plot lines, exciting military action and a nice touch of romance.
I can thoroughly recommend this book.

Review by: Hugh Harris on Nov. 19, 2011 :
An enjoyable story of a distant future in which man has reached the stars - and then fallen. The tale centers on a young man and his growth into adulthood and acceptance of his role in his society. The technology is well done - no magic - and the construction of the society is great - and frightening!
