I am not going to spoil this book by trying my inept hand at
a detailed review. It is an excellent book and concludes the
current series without eliminating hope for further books in
the same universe. The back pages mention a pre-quel trilogy
about events leading to the Milieu and the "current" situation.
"Jack the Bodiless" is one title (and only those familiar with
the current trilogy will understand the significance).
I rate this a solid 8.5/10. There are a few places where deus
ex machina seems to solve problems. But it is an excellent
read and I recommend it even as a hard-cover.
One last comment. How many people noticed the reference to
Industrial Light and Magic near the end?
