Review: Somewhat Flat
Rating: 4 out of 5

I was entranced by the idea of a space junkyard, and there is lots of solid stuff in addition, such as sketches of cultures, including that of one of the main characters whose "clan" lives in space, and there is problem solving and battles, small but intense.  However, although the writing is good, and the editing well done (something sadly not true of many self-published Kindle books), the characters and the dialogue come across so flat it seems as if I was listening to a story told by someone missing some parts of their socialization.  I can recommend the book, since it is worth reading, and will likely read others by Nolte, but I will go away from this one without a desire to reread it, and without a solid character in my memory, just some fascinating ideas that will stick.
