review 1: Without doing a recap of the book, which everyone does and can be easily gotten for anyone curious, I'm really liking this series of books, even though it strikes me as generally a bit silly to have a railroad of sorts in space. Frank Compton is a throwback, fitting somewhat into the Mike Hammer mold, the hard-boiled detective with the heart of gold who sets out to save the world, just one man (or in this case, one man and one woman) against the universe. It's not exactly original but it certainly works.I'm looking forward to getting the next book in the series, which is a good sign that it's a fun read and a worthwhile use of time.
review 2: The best one yet. There's more action and the plot kept me reading as opposed to just sort of thumbing through. Frank ... moreand Bayta have progressed enough where it seems that they are actually friends now. Hmm...wonder if that'll go anywhere?Additionally, I enjoyed Rebekah's addition and how that impacted Bayta.McMicking is still pretty awesome and I am left with wondering how in the world Frank and Co. can stop the Modhri. less
