Arkwright

Arkwright - Allen Steele Full review later.

I was a bit nervous picking this up because I'd seen some of the low reviews from people that share fairly similar reading interests to me. But I snagged it from the library, and I was pretty much instantly captivated. This is a gorgeous story that isn't filled with shinies and romance and cowboying in space. Instead, it's a study of the hope, the logic, the imagination, and the minds that will lift humanity away from earth.
