Review: Excellent series, marred by atrocious editing
Rating: 4 out of 5

The overall premise is intriguing - how do you jumpstart a non-functional spacefaring civilization?  As the second book in the series shows, it's not easy... and when you've got folks actively fighting it (because their power and perqs are threatened) it becomes even more difficult.The big problem I'm seeing with this book isn't the plot - it's the editing.  After a while, though, you get used to the lack of commas and the misapplied to's and too's, missing quote marks, the apparently random usage of there and theirs and they're in favor of the overall plot. (Doing your own editing on the fly, so to speak.)  If you can't get past those, you'll miss out on a good read.  If you can - I think you'll enjoy this greatly.I'd like to give this a 5-star rating - but the editing precludes it.  Even with its faults, it's well worth your money, I think, and a real page turner.
