Abandoned after 50 pages. This title was not for me. Too realistic space-wise. I don't like it when due to great distances you have to wait 12 minutes for light to catch up with real-time. Star Wars and Star Trek ruined it for me. I prefer the fake physics to the actual one.

Next, I'll try Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.
