As far as expansive space operas go, this novel is mind-blowing. The scope of the worldbuilding, richness of characters and attention to detail are impressive, any they highlight the efficient writing that makes reading this book a true pleasure. Add to it the huge influence the worldbuilding exerted over future science fiction works, and you’d have a bona fide classic, if it wasn’t for a few shortcuts taken with the protagonists.
