kstep1805's review against another edition
3.0
This book was a big departure from other Bova works I have read, maybe thanks to his co-author, AJ Austin. This book had a feeling akin to fantasy novels, with a monarchy at the center of the novel that gave it a sort of historical feel but instead of fantasy creatures populating the world to set it apart, it was science. There is some intrigue, though perhaps not as well developed as could have been. There is a little bit of romance and a really big project that crosses generations. I don't want to say that they characters are really well developed, they really aren't, but somehow that didn't stop me from connecting with them, rooting for them, and wanting to learn more about them. This book surprised me, and that always helps me to enjoy the reading much more.
