This is the continuation from Runner, and continues the story of the attempt to re-enable the star gates. It has the comicly incompetent Technosociety once again, as well as series of genetically engineered protagonists. I am bothered by why the star gate power supplies cause people to fall ill -- you'd think in a highly advanced society capable of building star gates they might have spent some time on shielding. Or did the shielding somehow fail on all the power sources sometime over the thousands of years of decay? The has a disappointing ending, but was a fun read until then. I find it hard to suspend disbelief about how the AIs present themselves, but apart from that the book was solid. This one is probably not as good as the first. show more

Interesting story about a "sensitive", a "warrior" and a "runner" who are trying to get an AI in the form of a changeable garment to a specific planet in order to re-activate the "stargate network". In the end, the stargate and the AI's are destroyed and
A fun read but tried to pack way too much into the book.

Decent sci fi. Did not make me a big Dietz fan by any means.
