Interesting and different take on how a future human interstellar empire might look like. There's some actual character development, which is a nice surprise, since there's also a good amount of Space Opera. The (few) battles are a bit too heavy on the technobabble, including the most gratuitous use of the word "buckyball" I've seen so far. That word doesn't show up at all before or after that one occasion, by the way.
Overall, very readable and keeps you turning the pages. The "end" which really isn't one comes very suddenly. The authors really want you to buy the second part. I haven't read that one yet, but if it lives up to the promises of the first part, I'll be a happy reader.
