Pretty good! Well paced and HUGE at over 500 pages. the characters are nicely done, if the 'Miller' character is a bit too much like James Lee Burke's Cletus Purcel to miss noticing.
I'll pick up the next one to see how they resolved the BEM problem but I'm just a little shy of it given the ending in this one.
I really prefer Bova for near-term stuff. I saw an article online someplace quoting the two guys who wrote this saying 'nobody else is doing this era', and was disappointed they didn't know their own genre' very well.
