Zenith Angle
One of the books I picked up during our stay in Chico for my brothers graduation was a hardbound copy of The Zenith Angle. Finished it on the ferry home yesterday.
I basically agree with the amazon 2.5 star aggregate - it was far from great fiction, but it wasn't horrible. It's one of the few works of fiction I've managed to read through after the author makes egregious errors when dealing with computing. I can only say that if he was as off about satellites and electronics as he was about computing, he's got the distinction of making all manor of geek cringe.
Still, the story was interesting enough, and a couple of the characters stuck with me, so it was worth the (used) purchase price. If you're a Sterling fan, give it a whirl. If you're not, I can't say it's a must-read.
