A fun futurist space novel a la Arthur C. Clarke. A few hundred years in the future, a new space engine technology is discovered that allows travel to the far reaches of the universe. No big plot twists or over-arching story arc here, just an exploration of the setting. Pretty good read.

A sci-fi adventure that reminds the reader that while there are mysteries “out there”, there is also no changing human nature. Acceptably interesting but not just blow-me-away awesome.
