This is a hard one to review. the short of it is that with as many issues as I had with this book, I couldnt stop reading it. Its very engaging.Heres the long version.Lets start with the things I didnt like. The story rambles from sub plot line to sub plot line. things happend that are too convenient that let the characters out difficult sitiuations. The characters are constantly getting tortured, attacked, or their ship is being destroyed, and certain plotlines like the Captains powers take this book out of science fiction, and firmly into the realm of fantasy.Although the story is set in a sci-fi enviroment, its not really a work of Hard science fiction. Its more of a narrative that just happens to be set in a sci fi universe.Now to the thing I liked.... I hate to admit it considering all the bad stuff I said above, but I couldnt stop reading this book. Its engaging, and if you can get past the fantasy aspects of the story, you will find it hard to put down.Alot of the story was far fetched, but atleast it was entertaining.
