Good tale, some minor gripes with it but nothing major. Sounds daft but character names of all things was a main issue. plenty of tech , suspense and action. Looking forward to the sequel now that the plot is formed and the characters are in place for some more sci-fi goodness. Not a great book but not terrible either. A decent starting point for something that could be truly epic. A lot of similarities with Herbert's Dune..... ( which the author has written a lot of prequels for)
