Space Operas typically suffer from poor writing or authors who like to like to drone on and on about the details. Jasper T. Scott doesn't do that. He provide enough information for the story to be interesting without bogging you down in detail.This is definitely an adventure book, set in space. It's also a transhumanism story (humans transcending their mortality), and about a super intelligence becoming the master of a group of humans and for all intents and purposes becoming their god.The story is generally interesting, though I would have preferred less repetition. As each new group of people discover something (that the story already told the reader about) they discuss it amongst themselves. All this really adds is the reaction of that group. This happens fairly frequently and makes the story less interesting.Overall it's definitely an enjoyable sci-fi/space opera series that's worth reading. The made up curse words are a bit irritating (I don't like cursing period) and there are some plot elements that don't totally make sense ([spoiler] few get to live on Avilon... no wait, everyone does).
