Review by Connor Armstrong on February 13th, 2018
I've read a a few of these before, with mixed results. Some have been Space Operatic joy from start to end, while others have been an effort to finish.
Surface Detail is definitely the first, combining abstract space battles and political machinations with some philosophical questions about Hell, Virtual Reality and interfering in the beliefs of other cultures. There's also a nice old-fashioned revenge subplot.
If you like SciFi and want to take it up a gear, this is well-worth reading, even if you haven't read so many of his other books.
