Durante largo tiempo, el Estado empleó naves espaciales cuya velocidad era menor que la de la luz para preparar los sistemas para su colonización por el hombre. Normalmente, las máquinas sembradoras viajaban en circuitos que duraban siglos y que tenían su punto de partida y de llegada a la Tierra. Normalmente, las tripulaciones estaban compuestas por ciudadanos y convictos corpiscilos. Normalmente, el último control de la misión era ejercicio por un cyborg informante, un verdadero déspota del Estado microcósmico que era la nave. Pero la normalidad se alteró levemente cuando Disciplina penetró en el sistema de la doble estrella T3 y le Voy's Star. This book is set in the fascinating world of the Smoke Ring, a free fall environment that is able to support life. In the distant past, a group of humans settled there and adapted to the rich and varied environment. World building is the strength of this novels. The world of the Smoke Ring and the Integral Trees (massive plants within the smoke ring) is fascinating. The character development was okay -- really, pretty decent by sci-fi standards. However, I was less happy with the pacing of the plot. The novel was working so hard to build the world that the plot blurred by. Overall, it was an enjoyable read. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

For a long time, the State used slower-than-light spacecraft to prepare star systems for colonization by Man. Normally the ramseeders traveled centuries-long circuits which began and ended at Earth. Normally the mixed crew of citizens and "corpsicle" convicts remained with their ship. Normally ultimate control of the mission was exercised by a built-in cyborg "adviser," the true despot of the tiny State microcosm that was the ship. But little happened normally when Discipline reached the double-star system of T3 and LeVoy's Star. There an immense doughnut-shaped gaseous envelope had formed around a neutron star-and a vast volume of that nearly-empty cloud was comfortably habitable to Man. Though it had very little usable land, the Smoke Ring had evolved a huge variety of free-fall life-forms, most of which were edible and all of which could fly.

Rest of the book is average I guess, possibly since it was obviously written as part one of a series. ( )
