This is the fourth and final book of the series. The ‘world’ story in line with the previous books in the shortest one, but about 30% of the book is the Epilogue, which ties the series together making the fourth volume the longest.
While it is true that some stuff is, as another reviewer put it “an extended male adolescent wish fulfillment”, but still there are a lot of interesting thoughts and twists. Why far from the best SF of the 1980s, it is still a slid and enjoyable read, especially if you don’t come to it with modern political correctness attitudes.
