Back in September, I put up a note asking if anyone had any opinions on
"Carpathians" by Paul Dixon. The silence was deafening. In fact, I don't
know if anyone even saw my previous note.

So here I am again., I finally read it. I liked it. Space opera-ish, but
I liked it.

Anyone else? Anyone? Bueller?

I somehow managed to miss your earlier post.


Given my weakness for space opera, I'll take a look.

Oh, I definitely saw your previous note. Of course, I said nothing since
I had never heard of the book. I was looking forward to responses, so I
could decide whether or not to try reading it.

Kinda like now,

It would be more useful to have a bit more than "space opera-ish".

Well, I was trying not to give away any of the plot.

Possible spoilers follow:

The galaxy is dominated by corporations. Corporations will do absolutely
anything to get one up on other corporations or to prevent corporations
from getting one up on them.

Little evidence of successful civilizations exists, all seem to have
destroyed themselves. A 100 meter in diameter silver sphere is
discovered on a planet being mapped. Skulduggery ensues.
