For a first novel, the author did a fine job of bringing the reader into the action very quickly.  The grammatical style was fine and the plot was interesting.In a way, the book read as a series of short stories linked together around the central theme.  Backstories came in late.  Many many characters were named that were not central to the book.There were a few technical flaws (for example, venture capital financing generally only occurs prior to stock offerings, not after; sprinkler systems are not affected by microbiotics).But, overall, I enjoyed the story and was sympathetic to the protagonist.Good solid job for a first novel!
