Helpful Score: 4

I didn't like space opera until I read this. Brilliant hard sci-fi! I will admit that I had to pull out my dictionary of physics a few times while reading this series. It is complex and smart and just awesome.
It has interesting alien life, mysterious extinct alien civilizations, a plague that effects technology, cool cyborg-y adapted humans, and it's all done very well; in a way that is smart and realistic.
It is first in a trilogy -Redemtion Ark and Absolution Gap are the other books in the series- and there is another book, Chasm City, that is the same world, but not part of this story line.
If you like sci-fi, it is a must read.
