Title: Should be Chapter 1 instead of Book 1
Product review: Extremely lengthy, considering that it takes 250 pages to get to the "crime", and nothing of importance is revealed after reading 500+ pages. Too many major deviations from the spacer/settler universe, including appeal to deus ex machina type plot devices. Asimov would have hurled. Given all that, I will probably end up reading the next book, if only to finish answering the questions left hanging. If you haven't started reading Vol 1 yet, don't.
