On this particular vacation I packed a bunch of ARCs (advanced reader copies) that had built up. This one I don't remember what I was thinking when I acquired it - I had read at least one book by the author that I vaguely remember not hating. What I got was a confused silly sf escape sequel. The characters basically felt like over-powered role playing characters up against great gobs of cannon fodder. It was interesting at times and both the characters and technology had potential. And it was readable. But it wasn't believable and the pathetic-ness of the enemy and the arbitrariness of how everyone came together except the character we weren't supposed to like, was just stupid.

Satisfying end to this Duology. I enjoyed the new adventures of the Dire Earth crew. Hope Mr. Hough writes more books.
