It takes a really good or really bad book for me to write a review-Inception is a pretty good book along the lines of what Asimov, Heinlein, and other of the grand masters once wrote (they were five star, a four star comparison to them is high praise).  Plotting is good, quick tempo; characters realistic, well-drawn.  Only real problem I had was the tough-to-swallow rapidity of integration of alien tech- but then sci-fi is all about suspension of disbelief. It has also, to me at least, always been about hope for the future, and this book delivers that in a positive manner.  At any rate, I liked it well enough to immediately proceed to the next book in the series.
