This is fast becoming my favourite sci-fi subgenre; Hard Sci-Fi croseed with Emotions. And likeable characters. It starts with humble beginning, crosses the stars and even leaves space itself. 
Things certainly start to wobble for the first half of the last quarter, but the rest of the book was so amazing that I can't mark it less that 5 stars.

If you're into politics, you'll like this book. I'm not into politics so I was not the intended audience.
