Much more of a space adventure than a Brainship story, the focus is all on Joat, Joseph and Amos causing havoc and chaos around the universe. It's a rip-roaring story that brings back the Kolnar as the big bad and one can almost hear the evil laughter rippling as the backdrop.

DNF at 5% after the Kolnari invade and describe what they want to do with the females they find. Their over-the-top evil behavior with rape and beatings were too graphic and brutal for me.

Other than Joat, the main character, her AI Rand, and Karak of the Kolnari, I found myself not caring about the characters—their backstories, their motivations, or their fates. And of the three I mentioned, it was the ship’s computer, Rand, who capture my interest the most. Not sure what that says about the story—entertaining enough, but not absorbing, provacative, or powerful.

As the last book in a favoured series this was so disappointing. Too many villains. Too much bad stuff happening to the good guys with not enough leavening. The one important piece of information that this reader wanted by the end of the book was barely two lines of cryptic crap that I reread four times till I figured it out and could let the book go with the answer I had hoped for. Since I don't believe I am stupid, I prefer to believe the writer failed. The promise of Joat was unfulfilled. Not enough of Simeon and Channa. Just an all around let down.
