First Light by Linda Nagata

5.0

This was an excellent, excellent book. I rarely do reviews for books any longer because I am so busy elsewhere, but I felt this book needed a SOLID recommendation from me. This is near future Sci-fi, and is action-packed, compelling, with great characters, and a plot that is thoughtful, intelligent and which intricately explores issues that are arising today. It's well done indeed; depressing, because I can't say I like the world in this book too much, but it's not only plausible, but very likely the world we will be living in shortly. Actually, it's the world we already live in, the tech just isn't quite as advanced as it is in this book.
