As with many books, in this one, the corporations have taken over the exploration of the solar system and the Universe, becoming quasi-governmental in nature as they control their 'employees'.  Mankind is about to leave the solar system for a new star.  Will they leave as independent humans or as serfs to the almighty credit?We have a human who has lived for thousands of years, a robot representing others of his kind and a plot line that starts out a bit foggy as we try to figure out the characters.  Then we pick up some action and mayhem along with a love interest or two and changing attitudes by the oldest amongst us, and the newest...While the premise of the story is trying to keep the colonists in Titan waiting to go to the stars from becoming serfs to the Greedy Corporations, to me the story really develops around how the characters 'grow up' and decide what is worth finally laying it all down the line.  This, combined with space travel and lots of action keep the pages turning.An enjoyable book.
