This book gripped me like few others ever have. Absolutely fantastic Hard SF. The sequels sucked. (OK, I'll admit I only managed to get as far as halfway through the book 3 before I gave up.)
On a side note: I consider this book to be one of those indicator or benchmark type books. If you like it, you'll probably like Hard SF in general. If you don't like it, Hard SF is probably not for you.
