Yeah, i'm never going to finish this. Ponderous, dull, plotless, amazingly pleased with it's conceit but unable to do anything with it that isn't eyerollingly trite and pointed out, remarkably self congratulatory, again and again. Blah.
The battle between an alien ship and a ship of social outcasts is like watching a chess match where both sides are constantly changing the rules. Such a game is engrossing, strange, and confusing. Perhaps it's a bit more convoluted than it really needs to be, but it's quite an interesting read.
Pure rubbish! I'm afraid I cannot really go into details without spoiling the book for those that might like it but to me it was awful and although it certainly was fiction it had bloody nothing to do with science!
