I really liked the world building but found I couldn't connect to the characters.  

Setting the story on Jupiter was an interesting choice, and I liked the Classical studies and the mauzooleum.  
I even had some sympathy for the villains of the story because they're right, if they only get one shot, it's going to be very difficult to ever actually take the chance to reset Earth to something similar to what it was before.
