Fun, colorful "golden age" space opera in the vein of Heinlein or Asimov, with bigger-than-life engineers, driven by their technology goals and interesting B story mystery, 5/5 stars.

Bordbuch Delta VII by Mark Brandis
Great story, fun space opera, awesome characters and drama, a little dated now, not so much awe and wonder. 3/5 stars.
God's Debris by Scott Adams
Bad science, poor scholarship, silly thought experiments, good writing, 1/5 stars.
Trader's World by Charles Sheffield
I didn't like this one. The tech was bad; the AI was awful. The world was bizarre and silly. 2/5 stars.

Between the strokes of night by Charles Sheffield
Fantastic! 5/5 stars! Interesting plot turns and great awe, wonder space alien mystery. Timeless, background tech a la Asimov.

One Way by S J Morden
Quite good, 4/5 stars. The murder mystery was a little too-easy to solve early but the suspense and climax were fantastic.

The Fourth Age by Byron Reese
I was a little disappointed by this one but it is still worthwhile, 3/5 stars.
