This book and the series as a whole are the single greatest contribution to the science fiction genre. I read these books as they were released in the US and I was in awe at the universe Mr. Hamilton created every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend these stories to scifi fans with only one slight warning; things get a bit technical at times and that degree of depth can slow the pace of the story, but if you push through it, it will make the story that much more interesting.

Although this book is filled with in depth characters that are fleshed out quite well, I feel there are too many! I would find myself quite engaged into a specific group of characters for a fair duration only to have three or four other groups introduced before getting back to one of the original set. I like the idea behind the story and am quite curious to find out what happens next however I feel it is too much of a chore with little to no reward.

Science fiction, military action, horror, suspense thriller, even made me crack a few laughs! This one has it all! Storytelling at its finest. It felt like I was there the whole time.
