This novel is a wonderful combination of ceaseless action and consummate character development.I've been reading SciFi for over 50 years and this is one of the better that I've read. The best condensed comparison I can come up with is Lois McMaster Bujold. There is a quirky central character/hero who suffers fools poorly, but demonstrates compassion toward those who are her own. She is surrounded by a cast of characters who push the edges - no, they leap past - the boundaries of imagination.I don't want to steal the authors thunder, so I'll just say that the array of aliens is imaginative, entertaining, and believable, despite pressing the bounds of believability.The action is continuous and gripping. I will admit that Dallas, the Stick Fairy is my favorite. Buy the book to meet her.
