I really enjoyed this book. It may be because I'm on a current Star Trek kick and I was relating much about the Ekumen and the idea of a first contact to that but I found this book to draw me in very easily. I read most of it over one long weekend and then only finished it a month or so later but I still greatly enjoyed it.
