A fairly enjoyable read, although almost no character has more than a few paragraphs of depth. Suarez has a better eye than most about what the laws of physics allow, and is pretty good about not extrapolating more than a few years down the road of likely technologies.

It's definitely SF, although it is not marketed as such. It would be interesting to run this against Stross's _Halting State_ on the one hand and Ryan's _The Adolescence of P-1_ on the other.

The ending... doesn't end, so much as note that there will be a sequel next year.
