Primary Inversion by Catherine AsaroMy rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Very heavy emphasis on science and technology in this one - neuroscience and the math and physics of interstellar, faster-than-light travel. At times, I had to continue reading without more than a vague understanding of the technology. However, these descriptions, by and large, add to the atmosphere and world-building underlying the story. (Yes, sometimes I also got bogged down in the detail.)
It's a fun, complex, fast-paced, thought-provoking space opera with dynamic and believable characters. Based on racial/species conflict as well as potential uses/dangers of AI and bioengineering, with romantic conflict, family and imperial politics, and really exciting space battles to liven things up.
Recommended for science and science fiction (space opera) fans.
