Maybe it's just me being a bit sick, but I got tired by the end of this book and couldn't quite keep up. I don't know how the situation they got in could be prevented from sounding in part like an accounting problem (how many of this unit vs how many of those; how many people vs how much space; how many minutes vs how fast can we...) and I've always disliked big battles in general.

I guess the book wrapped up as well as it could but now I'm left with the feeling that I was supposed to care most about first Bob for some reason more than others.

The few things I disliked most about the last two books are the lack of other human replicants, and the lack of alien species that are not just humans by another name (except for the one and we don't get to explore it much). The book gives a super weak excuse for the first and none at all for the second.

I did really enjoy the idea behind the series, and I don't feel like it wore too thin, but I'm glad it's over and not turning into a soap opera where you tune in to follow a cast of favourite characters doing predictable things.
