Very poor executed sci-fi. The background story is really interesting, but the main characters feel like they have been moved from some 5c sci-fi detective story, just could not keep my attention on them and kept forgetting who is who. The main character is a bit annoying, jack of all trades and hidden schizophrenic...
I skimmed through the book, but as after reading the Foundation book by David Brind I'm really disappointed. I hope that the quality of writing and story improves in 2nd book in Uplift series.
