Title: Long and pointless speculation
Review: Carl Sagan once wrote that good science fiction is about ideas. You find very few ones in this book. The plot is slow, boring, concentrates too much on shallow characters and there are just a handful of somewhat original futuristic speculations. From around page 50, I had to browse over the rest very quickly, to have the book finished. Avoid it, better try Barne's "Mother of Storms".
