[@Shorticus] You do have a point, you know...

I do enjoy the Ender Saga and the protagonist's last name is Wiggins and there's a race of aliens called the piggies. 

I just think Hamilton's schtick was just kind of "Space Captain Wilson Heimer" or whatever with a lot of slang that just kind of took me out of it. Also, glacial pacing, at least in the Commonwealth. GLACIAL.
