Review: Nice science, no emotional hook
Rating: 4 out of 5

The economic and space exploration part of this book, and the scientific underpinnings, were solid and interesting.  The AI characters were great, but the regular characters were a bit thin.  I never found myself emotionally attached to any of the human characters, especially the main hero.  The main hero had a special background that seemed wasted here.  If anything, it made the story weaker instead of stronger.The main sidekicks were also weak, but some of the characters that were only on the scene occasionally were cool.
