1) Anything you particularly liked about it?

I quite liked the ideas. I liked the Primes.

2) Anything you disliked?

It's a Peter F hamilton book. Entertaining in a "fluff" kind of way. Hamilton is a good writer (as it goes) but tends to blow the later stages of his books. I felt that this one was peculiarly flaccid in the middle section. I didn't feel that he padded out some of the more interesting sections well - for example the "perfect detective" investigating the star flyer (aka chasing the arms dealer). It's been a while since I read it so I am a biy fuzzy on the details. I didn't bother with the follow-up.

3) What subjects jumped out at you while reading?

None really.

4) Any other topics you'd like to discuss, related to this work?

No.
