Welcome to Litsy!

Loved this character driven military space opera, revolving around energy systems called lines, worked by linesman, that may be sentient. Audio was excellent.

If you like sci-fi, you'll love this book. I couldn't put it down.
The concept is original and super creative. Plot moves along nicely with an energy that flows along with the events. Characters are lifelike and real, and the protagonist stays consistent to his nature throughout the story. The writing is simple and elegant; it's so good that it moves out of the way to present the story.
PS - If you read it, you'll find out what line 8 does ;)

That was DEFINITELY not the climax. Wow, what an amazing ending! If you like sci-fi, you'll love this book. I couldn't put it down.

Interesting that what I currently assume was the climax has occurred only two-thirds of the way through the book.

He sang as he worked. The deep, sonorous songs of the void - line none. The chatter of the mechanics - lines two and three. The fast rhythmic on-off state of the gravity controller - line four. And the heavy strength of the Bose engines that powered it through the void - line six. He didn't sing line one. That was the crew line, and this wasn't a happy ship.
