Review: Starts of well, but ends in a heap of cliches

I must admit that the first third of the book is well written, but after that everything goes downhill.The story from then on has largish holes in its structure and leaves quite a few things open ended, moving along to something else. There is just to much going on and it is all dealt in a summary fashion.As another reviewer mentioned, there is not a lot of character development, and it is hard to understand how somebody who starts out cleaning space engines get to such a high position at the end of the book.The author certainly will do better in newer volumes, as he has plenty of ideas. But he should choose and winnow down the ones that he wants to include in the story instead of stuffing them all in one book.
