(the spin)

rated 6/10: read to pass the time
Drat -- I read the book, put it down, forgot to review it. So, from memory:
It's an interesting universe ("the spin"). It's main benefit is to help the author: There is a large number of unique environments, all within an easy drive of each other. The characters can go from desert to jungle to MeccanoLand to metropolis all within one chapter. No need for the magic of FTL travel.
That said, the author uses it well. Some imaginative sets and suitable adventures using multiple unique sets, each set almost "logically" isolated from the others..
I remember enjoying the book but my lasting memory is of the fun of various locations. If I read other Spin books I shall need to re-read this one -- just to see if there is a coherent plot with fixed characters.
