No current Talk conversations about this book. 409 ( ) It looks like Hamilton has learned to channel his tendency for extraneous details toward giving us incite into the physical and psychological backdrops of his future world. This is the best of the series, as he details world-power egotism, super-power mercenaries, a humanity threatening alien and the aging of our favorite characters. What I still don't like is the silly cover illustration by Barclay Shaw: a well drawn picture of two characters that resemble no one in the story--but like 2 teens posing for a futuristic paint ball game. no reviews | add a review
