I finished listening to the audio version of this book during my commute to and from work. I enjoyed it more than some of the other “space opera” books, though the motivations and “honey trap” technology concept did not make sense to me. I do intend to get other books by Gibson in this universe and I do recommend the author. The characters were fun, the suspense and drama were well-written, and the plot was unpredictable. The space opera tropes of a mysterious, ultra-advanced alien technology and unknowable motivations of space aliens were also well-presented. And best of all Gibson does not inject as much British arrogance and political utopia as authors like Peter Hamilton. (****)
