The author claims it's "Hunt For Red October" in space. Well, no, I don't think so. It's a pretty good mil-sci-fi, with lots of clever and even funny dialog, and I'd read a sequel. You know, since it has a super cliff hanger ending... Well, it's five years later and there is no sequel that I can find. Apparently a lot of people dislike this author and will diss his books. I think he is a bit of a ass, but I did enjoy reading this book.

Slinky; Dolce and Gabbana. They still have that fashion house and that toy hundreds of years in the future. Wow!
