Description

Three survivors of the Castanaveras genie massacre will help Occupied America celebrate her tricentennial in renewed revolution.

I thought this was a much, much better book than Emerald Eyes. The plot is big, complicated and compelling. The characters are better developed and more interesting. Sedon is particularly compelling--sociopathic villain and heroic Prometheus rolled into one. The A.I. characters play a small, but important role, that clearly leaves plenty of room for further development. Moran's ambitious, many-layered "Tales of Continuing Time" Universe begins to make sense, but still leaves many unanswered questions. After reading The Last Dancer, I can understand both why the series has attracted a fiercely loyal fan base, and why these fans continue to hope for the release of further installments.

This is the third (?) book in a series that I initially hoped would go on for a good long time, but which appeares to have ended here. Which is a shame, because the books are good fun.
