I very much enjoyed the Roman-style society paired with science fiction. It was fun, yet predictable in a way. Smith does a very good job of keeping your attention with fights between space ships and some up-close action. The characters are more than the surface reveals, and that I loved. Each one is different than you first glimpse them and Smith draws you deeper into each one with flashbacks to their pasts.
