I was about to give up on e:book sci-fi when I picked up this book.  Mr. Welsh has set the stage for great series with an unlikely group of misfits who mesh well together.  There is a little bit of several of my favorite themes thrown in to this delightful space opera including cybernetics, genetic engineering, and terraforming.  There is moral theme throughout, which Mr. Welsh manages to pull off without being too judgemental or preachy.  The action is well paced and serves more as backdrop for character development than as the only point of the story.  This is the first time I have read a book by this author, but it will certainly not be the last.  I highly recommend this book.
