rated 9/10: really really good
Wow! There's a serial killer loose on a generation starship... Well, even I can guess that this is a red herring.
The truth is revealed -- step by step, a logical chain of discovery. And what a truth it is. Start with a what-if which stretches the bounds of belief -- and all that follows is logical, reasonable, absolutely believable.
Sympathetic characters... The author (as I read it) likes the characters, I like the characters. Yes there is suffering but not just for impact, it's essential to the story.
The science... is, well, amazing :-) A bit magical -- but explained by the book's underlying what-if.
Ah, good... a quick web search -- Ramirez has written another book. I must look for it!
