Book was recommended to me because my sense of humor (a little off center)and that I am somewhat of a political junkie. Read the book quickly for me (about 3 days). Enjoyed the sarcastic humor and gags in the book (the depressed robot causing the space ship computer to commit suicide). I guess the only thing that I didn't like was the number of times the travellers got pulled from sure death. But what the heck, it is a fanasty. Not sure if I will get the rest of the series.

Letting this little birdy flap it's wings.... controlled release to a friend of mine... and she damn well better comment on it....LOL
