I enjoyed this romp thru space. The point of view was rather interesting, a "lowly" enlisted man who simply goes where he's told to go, seemingly without realizing that he is the center of story.I've seen some reviews mention the unbelievable state of technologically advanced species who do not understand the technology they're using. But I look at our own ultra-specialized society and see no real difficulty with this. After all, a jumbo jet pilot probably can't design or build a jumbo jet, and after he lands at JFK, the plane is passed over to this group who refills it, that group who maintains it, another group who schedules it, and so on.
