I took a chance, and was richly rewarded with an engrossing read.A well written and polished story, that hit on most of the themes that draw me to science fiction; Space, Aliens, Evolution, War, High tech, discovery, exploration.The plot keep things interesting. Hat off if this is a first effort, but it reads as the work of an experienced writer. The Universe is well constructed, and consistent.Death and conflict as a forge, a planet as an anvil.Satisfyingly long, but left me wanting for more, despite 2 days of marathon reading.
