Has written better.
You can always expect good space opera from Reynolds. But a little cheesy, and a lot lame: the miner's have this motto, "We mine. It's what we do." ... Needs to try a little harder on details and on the character study. Oh, and the token asian needs more screen time.

Si te'l mires com a llibre d'aventures és pràcticament impecable, però com a ciència ficció realista trobo alguns aspectes massa forçats: intuïcions inexplicables dels personatges que fan avançar la trama, reaccions emocionals extremes una mica fora de lloc i una tendència al Deus Ex Machina que aigualeix una mica l'impacte de la novel·la. Tot plegat no treu que el llibre enganxi com el loctite i el recomano molt a qualsevol aficionat a la cifi. Reynolds mola, en vull més.
