It felt very rushed. 

There are great ideas here, and foundation of a decent Sci-Fi universe but none of them are flushed out enough, meaning it is hard to make any real connection to world, characters and the narrative.

It almost feels like this could have been two books:
  1. The Dying World & Search for new home 
  2. Last 1/2 or 1/3 of this book

This would have also made more sense considering the ending of Rubicon now feels somewhat forced.
