Epic Finale As Only The New God Of Science Fiction Can. Robinson has had epic finales before (SINGULARITY, PROJECT: LEGION, FAMINE), and yet this man continually out does even his own insane storytelling abilities. Truly, his creativity knows seemingly few – if any – bounds, and he is always surprising in what influences he brings to bear on any given project.
Once again, we find ourselves dealing with the near immediate aftermath of the last book… as we jump straight into the action of this one. And what action it is. Spanning the globe and breaking a team into smaller chunks… and yet bringing them back together in surprising and inventive ways. Along the way, I’m pretty sure Robinson does as much as possible to gross everyone – but particularly his Audible narrator – out… and yes, if you have a somewhat weak stomach, there will likely be more than a few gag moments for you. But there are also going to be a lot of rolling on the floor laughing your ass off moments… so just hope and pray to all that you consider holy that the two moments are no the same one. (And know that your prayers won’t go any higher than the ceiling of the room you’re in, because yet again, Robinson seems intent on making someone learn what it feels like to lose their lunch while laughing so hard.)
Full of Robinson’s unique blend of action, laughs, and heart, this conclusion to this trilogy really is his best yet.
Very much recommended.
