Axiom's End

I love Lindsay Ellis, and it is very well written. I just don't like sci-fi. If you do like sci-fi though I think you'll dig this. 

EDIT: Damn, I'm glad I gave this book another shot. I just had to get past some exposition about aliens I didn't particularly care about and then the ball really got rolling. 

I've already put in my preorder for book two and I'm damn excited for where this story goes.
