Review: Interesting enough.

I found it interesting that there is no continuous protagonist to this book.  Yes there are a few critical characters established in the early chapters but once their contribution is complete the book does a good job of shifting gears from fun engineering nerdiness to a pretty serious military Sci-Fi.  In fairness, the early characters never leave the story as they show up to give philosophical observations and to give some technological nudges to the plot.I do highly recommend it though and I'm very curious to read the next in the series.  If I had one niggling criticism it would be all the similarities between the alien species to ourselves.  It's a little too star trek-ish for my personal tastes but most folks will probably be cool with it.  A good solid 4 to 4-1/2 star read.
