"Good old-fashioned space opera, including AIs, interstellar war-blogging, and the illegal destruction of a system by supernova,.
The empire is held together by quantum-entanglement faster-than-light communication channels, which is both plausible and a device I haven't seen before.
Well, it's plausible if interstellar empires are plausible."
"6.0 stars. One of my ALL tiem favorite novels (along with the first book in the series, Singularity Sky). These two books together are as good as it gets when it comes to grand, epic space opera. The ideas discussed are mind-blowing and the author's skill in discussing them in the context of the story is fantastic. Te story never slowed down from beginning to end. I loved the introduciton of the genetically enhanced "ReMastered" as an enemy out to defeat the seemingly all powerful advanced AI "Eschaton." HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION.
Nominee: Hugo Award Best Novel Nominee: Locus Award Best SF Novel (finished 2nd)."
"I didn't care for this one as much as the first in the series (Singularity Sky), but it was still enjoyable. I liked the characters, especially the new ones, but with four main characters I didn't get to spend as much time with each as I would have liked. I also thought he had a lot of trouble figuring out how to wrap things up, so it meandered for a while before ending abruptly.
I'd still give a third in the series a try if one comes out."
"Just finished reading Book 1, the hubby had read it last year and when he saw I was getting close to the end he picked up Bk. 2, Iron Sunrise, at the library for us to read. He's awesome."
