Wow. Just Wow.

This book was more spectacular than I had expected. The format is unique and interesting. With it being created like a set of investigation files, with emails, inter-ship communication logs, AI logs, and diagrams, it presents a completely different way to tell a story. Yet not once did I feel like the story lost it's flow. It's a little slow in the beginning, and the teenage love story is a bit sappy, but by the time you get into the real action you start to forget about the cheesy/sappy parts.

This is also a beautiful piece of art, and I highly recommend getting a copy of the hard cover book. This format can't possibly translate as well to the e-book realm, unless they did a highly interactive version of it; now that I'd buy.
