Title: A long, entertaining read
Review: Hamilton tells a great tale of corporate desperation and post-colonial operations amid the stars, and several reactions to it. What do corporations do after they pay to colonize lots of worlds, then they fail to make a profit? Well, some of them send out ships packed with mercenaries for 'asset realization' or theft of all the valuables and technology that can be located on each visit. This story follows one of the mercenaries who wants out, and one of the colonists who wants to put an end to it.The military and technical aspects of this novel are quite good, but the story is even better. It puts a fresh spin on the issue of colonization and terraforming, and Hamilton offers a lot of interesting commentary on entering into a colonial era, once more.The novel was a great read, but I also found it intelligent and compelling, with some really great 'big ideas', beneath its action-adventure facade.
