Another phenomenal book in the Revelation Space universe. Lots of mystery and twists that had me guessing almost all the way up to the reveal. Was happy to spend a little more time with Sparver.

Probably the least straight-forward of the books in this series, but that's to be expected given the inherent qualities of the Nowhere. There were times when the humor felt forced in a high-action moment and it kind of bugged me.
