I DNFed(Did not finish) this book after 20 pages. It is written in documentation format (ie. through instant messages and "case files"). Although the story did sound interesting the format was not for me and thus I could not get into the book.
Very good story line with lots of twists and turns, only complaint is how some of the print is on the kindle version as grey on black text does not work well.
This was a truly fascinating read. I really enjoyed the format. From one page to the next you didn't know what you were going to get, which was kind of exciting. The story was fantastic.
One consortium illegally colonized a planet for mining, and when the other consortium found out they launched a deadly attack with biochemical warfare and regular everyday missiles. Survivors are rescued, but they rescue ships are overrun with refugees and somewhat crippled. Luckily their dreadnought attacker has been crippled as well. Then it's a race to see who can get across the many, many lightyears to safety on a space station and get the word out about the attack (or silence the survivors.)
In the meantime the biowarfare waged is causing major troubles on one of the refugee ships, and the battleship's AI is damaged enough to make it cuckoo for coco puffs! There is so much going on in the story, and surprisingly, none of it was lost in the varying formats or the multiple characters. Very much looking forward to the next book in the series!

Nice story, ironically I would have preferred it in a "normal" format, other than that it was impressive how the authors managed to make a story with those files.
