Title: Promising...if it wasn't for the politics
Product review: A very promising premise falls flat on its face, due to too much emphasis on the phsycology of the main characters. We see very little of the scientific and engineering problems associated with colonising a new planet. Instead, we are treated to pages full of personal vendettas, political infighting and finnaly ( of all things!) civil war. Sadly, this book has alot in it about politics, and very little about the colonisation of a new world. A shame really, considering the immense knowledge the author has on the subject.
