I love the sci-fi genre and I am always on the lookout for great sci-fi novels, unfortunately I am often disappointed. Happily, this was not the case with this book. I was engrossed from being to end and loved every moment of it. The characters were fully realized and the settings were vibrant and real. The author's Ph.D in astronomy is obvious and lends the whole story a realistic quality that, in my experience, many other sci-fis lack. Definitely a must read for a fan of the genre.
