In this book we follow a group of outlaws who separated 40 years ago after a job went wrong. They are getting back together to find their comrade who is missing in action.
There's AIs the size of ships with fascinating culture and uncertain intentions. There's cloning. there's cyborgs. There's queer relationships. It's delicious and disgusting all at the same time.
The only thing: the author used a ton of obscure words. I have a pretty good vocabulary, and I looked up over 70 words. At times, the big words were repeated, and it felt forced. It didn't distract from the story. If you lived for 200 years or were an AI, of course you'd pick the best weird for each occasion.
I'll be reading more from this author.
