Review: Bit too Logistical

I really liked this book. I really enjoyed the plot and loved the imaginative world building. I feel like this was written by somebody with an engineer's love for figuring out how everything works...in some ways that was great, and in others I felt it was really the main detraction from an otherwise well crafted story.On the positive side, I didn't spot one single plot hole, logic loop, or half-assed science...the underpinnings of this book are as solid a foundation as I've seen. On the flip side though, there is just way too much detail about things that just don't matter, and it really can kill the flow.Fortunately, with all the self-pub I read, I have developed skim-reading to a fine art...I can do it without being pulled out of the story. And again, this is a really good story and I just hopped on to see if there's a second book to buy, so I would definitely recommend it to any scify fan that has a little patience. I will also say that there were times that I felt the author's "nuts-n-bolts" style added depth that I appreciated. Anyway, looking forward to the next one...
