I felt that, over-all, this book was certainly of the same caliber as
Mote in Gods Eye (one of my all time favorite books).  However, I felt
that the ending could have been done a little better.  The mini-rebellion
against the President left a bad taste in my mouth.  I don't understand
the need for it.  Also, I was left wondering what happened to the people
in Birmingham.  Last we heard, God wanted an invitation to their party
BAD.  In general, I thought they played up the Survivalists in the begging
alot and then did nothing with them later in the book.  Other than these
few questions (few considering the length of the book), I felt it was
well worth reading.  There was a fair amount of suspense.  I especially
liked the difficult decisions the president had to make.
