This was a really good book. Great characters, great world building, and a solid story. I wasn't sure where it was going once the main antagonist was introduced, but the author had a cohesive vision and really drove this one home with an ending that made this a great stand alone novel but sets up a series nicely with an interesting crew. Welch is definitely now on my "authors to watch" list.One little, tiny thing the author should be aware of... be careful of your astronautical terms. There's no such thing as an "elliptical plain" unless you're talking about an ovoid field of grassland. The "ecliptic plane" is the proper term when describing planetary orbits.
