It great to enjoy another Maria V Snyder book and a 1st book of a new series. Can not wait for the second one. I love the concept of the terracotta warriors on other planets. The character development is classic Maria V Snyder as they have quicks and are easy to relate too. Loved the fact that see put real physics/relatively (general and special) together correctly. It made the world more believable. This is a fantastic book.
