 Who would win: several trillion unknowable physics and biology defying ghost entities from a universe beyond time and space OR one dude with a lot of trauma and an alien infection? The space ghosts shouldn't have picked a guy used to fighting his own demons, tbh.

Honestly, this was the perfect ending to the series. It wraps up all the character points nicely and in ways that feel both earned and appropriate. The series long departed the focus on politics once it undertook the several decade time jump and it was nice that it focused on the characters we know and love.

The ending of this fantastic series wasn't perfect but it was still so good.

A perfect ending to the series. Really tied everything together very neatly.

What a stupid woman. At any point, they could have just told Teresa that her father woke up, and they need her help finding him, and she probably would have come. This whole conflict feels pretty damn manufactured unless that address that blindingly obvious communication gap.

Also, talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth. Just tell the admiral what you are thinking in terms of the threat. If he backs off and says he won't shoot even if you disagree....then you trust him. Otherwise, you don't.

And holy hell. Bobbie Jr. immediately taking over the ship? Did she even have reason to suspect they wouldn't turn over Teresa? What is up with all these insane people. I'm increasingly unable to buy into these characters as real.

Why are we killing the one guy who is demonstrably saving humanity? Also, they are never going to make me think Tanaka is interesting. She just seems painfully contrived. Maybe I'm just jaded after reading so many of these books.

Also, what kind of stupid solution does Holden have. At some point, humans will just figure out the same thing the proto-molecule did and we'll be right back in the same position.

I don't regret this series. It was enjoyable and had some neat stuff. But it led strong and tapered off, and holy hell it lasted to long to get to where it was going. It also really lacked satisfying character endings. The author doesn't know how to kill a main character.

Amus is the one saving grace in these books. Love that guy, all the way til the end.
