I ended up staying up past 3:00 a.m. finishing this story - its pacing, plotting, characterization, and descriptions all stand out. The author's adaptation of an ancient New World culture for use in a setting 'in a galaxy far, far away' is imaginative, and as this is the first novel of a trilogy, implies further connections between the story world and the actual historical society. Nicely done! Can't wait to read the second and third books.

Portal plot with tech

Interesting concept nicely plotted around an experimental transporter. When all goes awry, we follow two very different povs. Technology, gods and nefarious colleagues.
