Same formula as Leviathan Wakes and Caliban's War. The story revolves around and is told from the perspective of a number of main characters, whose storylines come together eventually. However, in this case, the main characters were a lot less relatable than in the previous two books.

It took some buildup for the story to gain some traction, but once that happened, ithe book became hard to put down.

I would have given it 3.5 out of 5. It was not as good as the first two books (which were both solid 4/5s), but it was still a thoroughly enjoyable read.

This was a delightfully geeky book. The story plays in a near future or alternate present. In terms of science, it seems well thought out. The fictional part of the science is goofy and fun and makes for a great premise. As the story progresses, there is a number of plot twists and each chapter ends with a bit of a cliffhanger. The story is one of both desperation and hope. Still, the tone is light-hearted and even humourous at times.

The ending is a bit too Hollywoodsy for my taste and does not entirely match the premise. It feels a bit like the author is trying to please the audience too much,.
