"Ivan Delgato, a former leader of a rebel group called the Runners, is released from jail on the condition that he carry out a secret mission for the World Council. His assignment is simple: stay under cover, but do absolutely anything necessary to reach the planet Omega IX and offer the renegade Runners clemency if they surrender-- which may be complicated since Ivan's brutally violent brother has taken lead of the Runners in Ivan's absence. In search of the Runners, Ivan catches a ride out to the wildest reaches of the galaxy via a mysterious transportation system, the Star Road. His fellow passengers on Star Road Vehicle-66 are a suspicious group, all with their own hidden reasons for traversing the star road. As the travelers contend with increasingly deadly encounters, it isn't long before suspicions build against Ivan. And as the Runners must choose one brother over the other, on a planet filled with ancient secrets, those who survive will confront a mystery that changes the Star Road, and humanity, forever" -- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Once again man has spread to the stars using ancient technology . This time however its different! They are mining the planets for rare resources. ;-D What again!?!
The world-building is limited, it is more focused on action and technology. Character development is okay - focusing mainly on 2 characters. The love interests (?) are basically milquetoast. Ending climax takes your breath away and gives the book the potential to become an ongoing saga. The end actually made me think of some of those old movies (1960s/1950s) with mythic quests (ex., The Black Rose, Hercules, Golden Fleece).
Matthew Costello has written other novels, worked on games and movies. Multi-talented man. I cannot do justice to his career so go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Costello or his website http://www.mattcostello.com/. He wrote this book with his friend Rick Hautala (died 2013), also a writer of many parts - lots of horror (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Hautala).
I apologize to the authors if I sound just a tad facetious. I think I am reading too many books in a row using the same mechanisms. ( )
