Review: Like an old Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon Adventure

Felt like a throwback science fiction novel, focusing far more on the characters and politics than on the science. I really enjoyed the story and characters, and there is a lot here. A more typical modern scifi novel would have probably split this into a three-part series, so you really get a lot of story for the money. In addition to the characters, the book does a good job of essentially ignoring the origin story of all the different groups, mentioning it but never really dwelling on it or letting it get in the way. Very engrossing read.
