I should start by revealing that I know the authors of this book, and therefore I am biased.

I loved it. In my defense, I am fairly certain I would have loved this book even if I didn't kow them.

Dani and Eytan Kollin have created a genuine, dreaming-of-the-future, shiny/grimy science fiction universe with their Unincorporated series. Unincorporated Man started things off in the best space opera fashion, exploring deep concepts and the nature of humanity in a novel and imaginative setting. Unincorporated War continues this trend with action, intrigue, flights of scientific fantasy, and some actually well-researched science. It makes you think, it makes you care about the characters, and there are tense times when you really just don't know what is going to happen.

Everyone compares these guys to Heinlein, and I say that's a disservice. I'm a fan of Heinlein, and I see the parallels. But Dani and Eytan aren't merely continuing his tradition - they are brilliant in their own right. They are reforging a path back to great science fiction for us, and I'm happy to be along for the ride.
