Again, Brin left me wanting more. As with Startide Rising I still had questions after the story was over. Unfortunately, I just finished the book for the sake of seeing what happened. Brightness Reef had some inspiring parts- I'm keeping that- but I was a little disappointed by this book.

I suppose this is the best kind of story there is -- one which leaves you really wanting to know more about what happens after the final page. The plot resolution is a bit stretched (who wouldn't be with all the threads Brin keeps going!), but it is quite enjoyable throughout.

Don't miss Brin's little bonus chapter just after his acknowledgments & before the cast of characters in the back of the book.

I did not want this series to end... and it seemed like it didn't...Loved all the adventure, species, dilemnas, subterfuge. David Brin is brilliant!

Only David Brin can write science fiction like this. It is the final book of a series, an accomplishment that surpasses most sci-fi authors in its depth and scope. This book is brilliantly written, with lots of action.
