Indlæser... Superluminalaf Tony Daniel
   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.  furicle | Aug 5, 2023 |   This book may be even more choppy. The war scenes are the least interesting parts. Not that they aren't handled well but they are not the, um, spectacle of the story. The plot itself isn't quite as mind-blowing as the first book, perhaps because we've seen the underpinnings of Daniel's vision before. There are some passages that felt repetitive. I know he's trying not to lose readers who start with this book but that is inevitable, given his plot evolution. Read book one or don't complain, lol. Given that, if I read one more description of how cloudships use the Casimir effect I'm going to scream. We still get no explanation how masochist Ames turned clearly sadist, though it was satisfying to hear the original Ames program talk a little about his view of what happened. Loved the introduction of the Jeep and more discussion of the Glory effect. I'm hoping I'll see book three because the plot is entertaining enough and the cliff hangers are even bigger. I still want to know more about Ames super-spy and why he is critical to the rebellion, why he is worth Leo's amazing journey to deliver him.

The future is at war for the soul of humankind ... It is a time when civilization has extended itself far into the outer reaches of the solar system, and in doing so has developed into something remarkable. But humanity's progeny -- the nanotechnological artificial intelligences called "free converts" -- face extermination at the hands of the tyrant Amés and his invincible armies, and once the Napoleonesque Director develops superluminal flight, his "Final Solution" will be all but assured. But hope remains alive in the outer system. From the fleeing refugees of a dozen moons and asteroids, General Roger Sherman has amassed an effective and adaptable military force, already forged into a formidable weapon in the fires of battle. However, time is a commodity the courageous Federal Army lacks, as total war erupts between the vast cloudships of the outer system and the deadly armada of the Met, a glorious and terrible conflict that will rage among the stars ... and within the hearts and minds of every human being.

It's just a bit too much of a 'book two of three' when I haven't read book one, and I gather book three will never happen. Read and enjoy, just don't expect too much out of the ending. (
