I picked up this book via BookMooch since I was Mooching another book from the same person and the title caught my eye. Turns out to be just my kind of sci-fi and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the writing.

I believe this is a first effort for Mr. Kimberlin but it does not have that trying-to-say-everything-all-at-once feel that can be off-putting about many first novels (Heinlein's For Us the Living, Stross's Singularity Sky, to give two examples.).

This is a slim volume and a fairly light and quick read. Only the main character is developed in any particular depth but the other characters are interesting and behave consistent with the history they are given. The action is quick and the dialogue is witty.

Would definitely be interested in reading a sequel - 4 stars. (

This is the first book in what is obviously a multi-book series and Mr. Kimberlin does a nice job in his debut effort. His settings and characterization were pretty standard, but I liked the plot twists and was surprised on several occasions by the direction the story was taking. I look forward to the continuation of the story... (

Never let it be said that I am not friendly and professional, especially to people tracking me with big guns.

I figured if God or whoever had put me here, given me a conscience, and guided the world to this time and place, then I was already doing what I was supposed to be doing. If not, He would let me know personally. I don't like taking other people's word for things.

...mental note to self -- don't antagonize the crazy people!
