I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It was well paced, interesting, and fun. The characters were multi-dimensional and were the focal point of the story rather than the technology or environement being the star and the characters coming off flat, a trap many new scifi authors seem to fall into. My only (mild) criticism is that I'm guessing the author must have been enlisted U.S. Navy judging by the casual familiarity he has with the lingo and the culture, but for the layperson the acronyms and jargon can be confusing if not defined at least once in the story. However, it doesn't detract in the least from the overall enjoyment I got reading the book. I'll be watching for more from Locke in the future.
