Description
Life on Earth was intolerable - and yet Man had stayed there, his dreams and potential suffocating under the dead weight of bureaucracy. The stars were unattainable - thanks to the Infall Drive - but only a few heard the call of deep space. Some had already gone to colonise a new world. The second ship was ready at last. Ready to escape the Earth's prison; ready to seek refuge in deepest space. But it wasn't only freedom that awaited it...Tags

Good book of semi-hard sci fi. Considers amoung other things the implications of relativistic weapons.
Set in a world where bureaucracy has gone a bit mad - this gets a bit boring after a while but is a good commentary on one possible society. Interesting take on the economies of interstellar colonisation.

I thought the book was competently written, but I wasn’t keen on it, and I no longer seem to have a copy of it; so I must have got rid of it sometime.
