New Moon
by Ian McDonald
A space opera soap opera, but what fun. Ian McDonald is so good at characters and settings that it's just fun walking around in his worlds. But add to that his plots, and you get something amazing. He is one of the top science fiction writers around in my opinion.
The only difficulty I had was that he throws so many characters at you at once and they have Portuguese names with which I am not familiar so it is hard to keep straight who is who, especially in an audio book. But McDonald does such a good job at making his characters distinct that after meeting them a few times you begin to remember who they are if still not remembering their names.
I not only recommend this book, but it is on my list of books to reread in the future, possibly as a real book with a paper and pen beside me to take notes. McDonald's books are so rich with details that they are worthy of a deeper look.
