I enjoyed this book, great description of an alien world and the main characters were compelling. Many SciFi writers describe a society the way they would like our world to exist- this book has elements woven in reflecting common day themes, for me bordering on over the edge, but not quite. Eco themes the opposite of “Avatar” in that the early inhabitants start off very careful and the evil capitalists enter later, throw in some modern gender issues for good measure. A bit over the top towards the end concerning those themes. If there is a follow on version I will probably pass.
