A casual conversation takes hours between responses. Other than that the novel was OK. Grade it a C- [2 stars]. I won't read the others in the series.

That goes to show how tastes differ. I actually loved the series for how realistic the handling of the vastness of space was. The time lag plays a huge role on the tactics of battle.
