At its best, a splendid tale of two warships dooking it out in an extended battle across a solar system. The good parts are, however, intertwined with wordy psychological probes of the characters and overly detailed descriptions of inscrutable events--but what really spoiled it for me was the author's near total disregard for the laws of physics (he has ships stopping and turning in space) and a concept of battle that is little different from old timey naval engagements, with ships whaling away at one another from distances of a few feet. For that sort of thing, I'll stick with Patrick O'Brian.
