Grow up with E.E. (Doc) Smith?  Learn about life from Heinlein?  H.Beam Piper one of your favorite authors?  Dain White's Archaea is space opera at its best, complete with a (literal) deus ex machina.  Well, maybe not QUITE  a goddess, but Janis comes close and she's definitely 'ex machina'.  I'm planning to download and read the other two novels about this merry band of space-farers.  Some nice touches for those of us who program for a living - a hunky marine for me, a cute (don't call her small) weapons engineer for you plus a good selection of other characters.It's not great literature, but it's a great ride while it lasts - and there are 2 more to read!Now how can I learn to program without bugs and rewriting?
