I enjoyed this novel as much or more than its predecessor. Described as military science fiction by one of the reviewers quoted on the book's jacket, what makes the book intriguing and interesting is the combination of possible future modifications to human beings, other species in the universe, and ordinary character development. The big question the novel poses is: what does it mean to have consciousness? If you like science fiction, read this book.
