I'm a very big fan of Modesitt, and I found his writing in the Parafaith War, Ethos Effect, to be very engaging and imaginative. But, the Ecolitan Enigma, while certainly set in future worlds with great possibilities, gets bogged down with a lot of techno-babble dealing with agriculture and infrastructural economics, mundane drives through the countryside, set amongst chapters that whiplash you into discussions going on in other parts of the universe that will eventually bare on the plot...but it plods...and i had to force myself to read it to the end. Not a keeper.
