This book was really intriguing and I was hooked early on. Long, but in some ways I wish it was longer. Cool mix of low-tech society in a high-tech setting, with political intrigue. Later becomes more actiony, at which point it starts to break down a little. The conclusion sorta soured me a bit. Various people die in understated ways, and it ends very abruptly, right at the climax of the action, with only a vague epilogue to suggest that the heroes efforts were successful. Overall, though, a very good read.
