This was a fun read, with a fascinating premise. The moon's an ancient space ship? Cool!
I've been a big fan of Weber's military space novels for a while now, and this one doesn't disappoint. It's from the early stages of Weber's career, and every once in a while you can see ideas and scenes that get developed more fully and smoothly in his later novels.
The book was very hard to put down at the end, which is probably a good sign.
TOTALLY DIFFERENT AFTER READING NUMEROUS HONOR HARRINGTON BOOKS,
CONCEPT OF THE CREW POPULATING THE EARTH, AND THE AGE OF THE EMPIRE! GREAT BOOK
Book 1 of 3 - The Armageddon Inheritance is book 2 and Heirs of Empire is book 3

Excellent for Weber fans. A little gory here and there.
