This was a fast and interesting first-person read, but many times it showed its age, especially with the psychobabble and smoking in spaceships. The world building was enough to put me there and want to see more. Thus the sequels, I suppose. I'd read another. But I do hope the next one doesn't have the random pages of news clippings and classified ads interrupting the flow. Bottom line: unlikeable narrator but solid writing!
