Superb!! Great Book!

Joel Champetier certaintly gives the reader a good reason to read this book. The way he intertwines the intrigue, politics, a long with good realization certaintly gives the reader a clear view of what's going on in the book. I certaintly enjoyed how he described the characters such as Hamakawa and Qingling. This book definately needs a full 5 stars.

Unflinching look at the future & our place in the universe.

Unique. This is quite a story--wrapped in layers of intrigue, politics and science--and told in a voice that makes even the most preposterous sound reasonable, and then like fact rather than fiction. The author goes to great lengths to draw the reader in, and is successful in creating something that is entertaining and thought provoking.If you like the works of Stanislaw Lem or John Varley, then Champetier is an author you definitely should try. Not because this tale is derivative of their work in any way, but because the mental jumps he takes and plot twists are as intricate and finely wrought. Highly Recommended.
