Great book but it ends on a nerve-shattering cliffhanger.

Looks like he might be building up to actually have some action happen in the next book. I wish they didn’t get smaller each time though. I’m not giving up in this series yet but come on. Get it together.

I am slightly behind in the series, as I took a break for a couple of years. Only 4 more to go . . .

OK, I needed a stiff drink of scotch after listening to this one. The entire novel was great and really sets the stage for the final books in the series. Major plot points are introduced which leaves me wanting to know more and have me anxious for books 10-12. The ending is a chapter I have listened to 20 times, at least, simply because of the "wow"/"wtf" information revealed to us, the readers/listeners. Book ten is surely going to be a monster given how this book ended.
On that note, the whole ninth book was a great addition to the series. So many new ideas amongst the crew on how to cobble together a maxholx ship, how to come up with the beta site for Earth, and how to work with the new information they have become privy to.
Despite the ending which has left me on edge, I easily rate this a 5/5 and feel it was the second-best entry in the series (Columbus day, obviously, being number one).
A note to those that rate this down because of the ending, just remember that it takes great talent to make you feel so emotionally attached to a story that you express feelings of this nature.
Good luck, human
