When my man Thomas Hockenberry was smashing THE Helen of Troy I knew this book had the chaotic energy I needed.
Also I gotta shout out Mahnmut for being an all around gent, who just loves his Shakespeare. Orpho rocks too.
Best part of this book was whenthe gods QT into a room with the dream team ready to jump them on the spot.

An interesting and original concept. VERY strange, for people who don't like abstract and non-mainstream technological futurism. For people who are well acquainted with both Homer and Shakespeare, this will be a very interesting sci-fi novel to read.

Such a clever combination of elements. Really enjoyed this the third time round!
DONE.
whew. what a beast of a story. Would have given it 5 stars but for the stupid eye-rolling ending: an obvious lead-in to the *sequel* (which I will not read on principle). But yeah, this book was good. I gobbled up all 700+ pages in a very short time (for me). The entire time I kept thinking "this is just a richer, more tightly plotted, and more techno-babble-y Lord of Light." In a phrase: Entertaining as hell!!!

The sheer exuberance and creative originality crammed into the pages of this behemoth more then make up for some minor missteps and occasional weak character plotting. Part epic Greek poem, part sci-fi thriller, part best friends road trip and wholly Dan Simmons weirdness extraordinaire this is either a book you will love or hate. Luckily for me I mostly loved it, but could definitely understand people hating it as well. It's a hell of a ride and I'm looking forward to seeing how the next and final book wraps everything up.
