review 1: I found the omnibus version to be an enjoyable read even though each story was very short. It was hard at first to move away from the initial characters of book one and pick up with new characters in book two, but I eventually got used to that being the way this set was going to go. I felt like a couple of the character sets could have been used to create full novels of their own, but in the end, I guess you find out there was a plan all along.
review 2: An example of hard sci-fi that's also a fun and easy read (not sure how to mesh the two, but this is how it is). It starts on modern day Earth where a man basically blinks and wakes up 300 years into the future on a colonial establishment cruiser near Beta Hydri. Sifting through the lies, he starts to realize
... more something odd is going on. Book two (or chapter two now that they are in one volume) picks up on the planet in the Hydri system, but at a different era and with different characters, but it explains a lot of what happened to the original colonists. Book three is where the action starts and that is where I will leave off on this review. Suffice to say, it's an exciting book and I'm in awe at the price and hope there's more to come. less

Joyless, boring, poorly paced, unimaginative, over-wrought, incoherent, and pretentious.

Pretty weak science fiction. The price was right but the writing was not.
