I liked this chapter of the seres but the last third began to fray at the edges. Hoping that next book, the last in the series, will validate the journey.

Gregory Benford seems to have gotten back on track with this book, restoring a sense of direction and destiny to the series.

The story does get pretty trippy towards the end (something I suspect is hard to avoid when projecting normal human perception of reality into the theorized physics and environment in-and-around a black hole), but this is not a bad thing in my view.
