Review: Finally, an e-book writer with something to say!

Even though the point of the story was a bit depressing, I enjoyed following the characters on their journey of redemption.  I am not sure I believe in the world that made them, but I certainly found the characters themselves thoroughly believable and I found myself rooting for them.  I do not normally like to the kind of dark future painted here, but it was balanced by a more hopeful future in the colony worlds.  This book was well thought out and I look forward to picking up the next one.  My one request, though, is that the author tones down the pessimism about the future a bit.  What I love about sci-fi is speculating about the great things the future holds in store for mankind.  Adversity makes us strong and also makes for good story, but I do not want to be depressed about the future. Rather, I want to be impressed and uplifted by it.
