Fast moving action, great characters (names are unpronounceable) I was really into this book because I love the classic space opera type of storytelling.  This also lends itself to a lot of action series such as cowboys, Navy, etc..  It is a proven genre and if written correctly draws you in (and this one does it fairly well). I do think that an explanation as to how diamonds are used in the production of power and space travel would be in order.  Without that there is no  logic as to how this is used.  It doesn't have to be a valid explanation, just something that sounds correct otherwise, you could write about ships powered by oatmeal or some such thing.  I really like the silica angle, haven't seen that used before.  The writers of this book and series are to be congradulated on a very entertaining book.  I will  look for more of their works in the future. I also highly recommend this book to any Sci-Fi buffs out there. I think you will enjoy it.  I look forward to the next book in this series!
