  1. More than a century of ecological damage, industrial and technological expansion, and unchecked population growth has left the Earth on the brink of devastation. As the world's governments turn inward, one man dares to envision a bolder, brighter future. That man, Reid Malenfant, has a very different solution to the problems plaguing the planet: the exploration and colonization of space. Now Reid gambles the very existence of time on a single desperate throw of the dice. Battling national sabotage and international outcry, as apocalyptic riots sweep the globe, he builds a spacecraft and launches it into deep space. The odds are a trillion to one against him. Or are they?

Doesnt meet the hype.

I read it because ive heard of the Downstreamers in scifi discussions and found the idea enticing. But while the book does deliver in the hard scifi department, i felt the execution of the downstreamers lacking and disliked the actual story the book had and its characters. I probably wont read the other two books in the series.
