This space opera just wasn't for me.
I was really tied between giving this two and three stars.

The prose is so pompous feeling that it really overshadowed the bones of the story for me. The story itself, underneath all the ennui and unique vocabulary, is about space miners who have spent too much time confined in a small space together. Their quarrels are actually quite amusing, but I wanted to like this more than I truly did.

Science fiction is just that way for me sometimes with all the "science-talk" and use of phrases like "...considering the risks of entering into the Counter Punctual Velocity Bubble's plasmic spume." I just can't focus on the story when I'm trying to imagine what exactly that is.
