Review: Space Opera
Rating: 3 out of 5

Not too bad as space opera goes.  Parts of the plot are thin and much of the book relies upon luck and the occasional 'deus ex machina' contrivance, but, for all of that, readable.  I hope our hero starts to take himself more seriously and realize that he also must begin to shape future political events and figure out what he wants to happen if and when the rebellion succeeds.  Constantly putting off that discussion may permit everyone in the book and reading the book to superimpose their own worldview on the end state, but it isn't helpful for the future.  So, you caught the 800 lb. gorilla - now what do you do with it?
