Part detective story, part science fiction, I really enjoyed this book; it was a nice twist to the Revelation Space setting and filled in a few more pieces of history in that universe. I thought the book kicked off in high gear right from the get go and moved along at a brisk pace after that. I look forward to the next story from the Revelation Space universe.
