A review by theshrike
Linesman by S.K. Dunstall

4.0

Ean is a bit of a whiner and has zero self-esteem for most of the book, but he does kinda grow up eventually. The concept of "lines" to power and control space ships is really fascinating and the politics aren't too badly overdone.

The book ends with a few things still left up in the air.

A proper page-turner, need to check out more of S. K. Dunstall's books definitely, although the reviews for book #2 in the Linesman series say there's even more politics than in this one.
