A jump of a few years after the end of Boundary sets up a new situation, new challenges, new threats and new characters getting involved. Politics get dirty - though I loved the rowboat bit. And then greed mixes with the politics and gets straight nasty. This book starts (a bit before) the Ceres discovery, and ends with the castaways from the Odin mess vowing to get home (although each book is reasonably complete in itself, I have a hard time remembering after the fact where the seams are). Again, hooked me completely and kept me reading fast; worth reading, and worth rereading. I don't know what the two authors contributed - I find Flint flexible enough that I can't see what he wrote. But I'm definitely going to be looking up Spoor, based on these. Having not read the first book in this series yet I can't comment on the series as a whole or how this book builds upon the previous. There WAS, however, enough explanation of the backstory to allow me to enjoy this book well enough on its own. Fast-paced with an "action-adventure" feel but with enough of a nod to science to allow me to suspend my disbelief. A few too many "new" technologies for my taste, but that may be in part because some of them were freshly "new" in the first book. By this I mean that sometimes it seemed that the characters would introduce a new capability of their technology just in time to "save the day" ("Hey, Rocky, watch me put a rabbit out of this hat..."") Certainly readable and I might enjoy it even more when I go back and read the first book - I'll let you know. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

The EU and Ares are racing to explore the rest of the solar system, in a story that has as many plot holes as a sieve. Still, the action is there and the story moves ahead so it is not all bad.
And all the characters are still photo models of extreme intelligence and physical prowess.
