Title: One of Ringo's best
Review: This book is one of Ringo's best efforts. Like his other best efforts, it's the first of a series which unfortunately goes downhill in subsequent sequels. Fortunately this series doesn't deteriorate nearly as drastically as his Posleen/Bane Sidhe wars stories, for which he should truly hang his head and repent.Ringo sets up a high-tech world which is interesting on its own merits, lets us get to know the characters, then crashes civilization down into primitive survivalism. His handling of the transition works very well.The characters are well done, believable, and sympathetic. The story-line is engaging. I think this may be my favorite Ringo book (I don't give 5-star ratings lightly, and none of the books that follow this one are going to get one; I've already read them.)This book is a very well done, entertaining read and I do recommend it on its own merits.I also very much wish Ringo would put as much effort into finishing his series as he does into starting them.
