"Reccommended reading" according to Barry Memory. I have heard of Orson Scott Card a lot. I guess that is not hard to do when you live in North Carolina near him. Recently, I was looking for something new to read and finally broke down and purchased the series. I had to do some research before I made the purchase because I wanted to start from the beginning. This is it - the beginning. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why I resisted reading his books for so long but I am glad I finally did. This is good reading.

There are claim-jumping corporates bringing Asteroid Belt tactics to the Kuiper Belt. Worrying about a distant object that might or might not be an alien ship seems…not important.They're wrong.
