After 'The Understanding' my answer to that could be 'Yes!'
Not short on action,romance,technology....more

Even those who don't often read scifi will be intriqued by The Understanding. The alternative philosophy presented is extremely interesting in itself and well weaved into a fastpaced story that doesn't let the reader put it down. Deserves to be read with an open mind!
