I really enjoyed this book (and the follow-ons).  I felt the author did a fine job in relating why this new extraterrestrial space force came to "Protect and nurture mankind" on Earth.  Seems they were descendents of mankind in a parallel universe, and all of the other parallel universes, mankind had been wiped out.  He also exposed a number of scientific advances, but to my way of thinking almost all could be expected from the advanced physics discoveries made recently.  The "Star Trek" replicators that even built a ship was easily related to the current 3d printers that today make body parts for surgery and on demand custom parts in the current space station.  As an avid SF reader, I didn't find anything out of reach of that genre. I found the style easy to read, the characters likable and my reading wasn't hampered by any grammatical errors.  This book laid a good foundation for his "universe", and I happily bought and read the related books.  I particularly liked the "TSN: the Sea of Grass", which has become one of my all time favorite books.  I recommend reading it last.  I liked it so much I immediately re-read it, enjoying it a second time.I highly recommend this author and series of books
