This book is extremely entertaining and really scratches the hard core scientist/engineer itch of sci fi. It's well thought out and fascinating. I'm not rocket scientist, but the science largely passes the sniff check. The story starts in an action sequence and barely slows down at all. If you like fast-paced, this is your book. If anything, I think it was a bit too fast-paced and could have slowed down in some areas. The main reason this isn't a 5-star review is the frequent references to Jazz and other character's sex lives. It just felt out of place, too much, and kind of juvenile to me.
