“I honestly can’t remember the last time a sci-fi book really engaged me intellectually AND gave me great, blowing-giant-ships-up-in-space action. I especially love the AI who is the main character, who reminds me of how sometimes in sci-fi it’s the non-humans teach us best how to be human. If you ever loved Asimov, Herbert or Battlestar...
