What a read! An incredible sci-fi adventure, and the beginning of what I hope will be a satisfying trilogy! Set in the distant future when humanity has colonised the solar system and separated itself into a rigid and insurmountable caste system, a protagonist rises from the lowest pits of despair to spark hope, only to fall continuously as he relentlessly climbs - hoping for change as much as revenge.
