The weakest of the series so far. Really meandering. Way too many point of view characters. Almost felt more like a short story anthology than a novel.
Ending seemed like a literal Deus Ex Machina with Oh... we figured out how to trick The Big Bad Fleet of ships that destroyed the Earth through an alien artifact that will destroy them and leave us safe for now. It was so anticlimatic.
