Still, a good read, and almost makes me want to read the Pleistocene books. The first two novels are expertly woven into another cerebral and complex novel, where the jaw-droppers of the first two novels are resolved. Well, actually, one is fully resolved. The other's somewhat vague conclusion (and lack of follow-through with the novel's opening pages) makes me wonder if this series shouldn't have been a four part wonder instead of a trilogy. One of May's more enjoyable techniques throughout the three books was to make a statement as though the reader already knew about a particular event, and then fill in the details in a natural, almost conversational way. That is somewhat less satisfying when the "everyone already knows" statements are made at the end of a series with no more data forthcoming. All in all, however, I highly recommend this series to science fiction fans who need something in which to sink their mind's teeth. A resounding conclusion to the Galactic Milieu Trilogy. Mark Remillard is as powerful as his brother Jack. But, he is not "sainted" like Jack. He is mightily flawed, and he may spend eternity paying for his mistakes. Marc Remillard is a fully committed rebel now, and has his own plans for humanity. His Mental Man is a huge brain, with fully harnessed mental powers and no bodily weaknesses. He ties into the xenophobia of the rebels, using his plans to make humans the most powerful operants in the galaxy to fuel their desire to help him. He develops technological aids to their power to try and help offset their numerical disadvantage, when opposed by the pro-Unity operant faction. Marc's big problem is that the pro-Unity forces are led by his brother Jack, and his with Dorothea, both of whom are more powerful than he is. This ends in an exciting climactic battle of mental superpower and technological weaponry. http://superprose.blogspot.com/2006/1... no reviews | add a review
