Humans (Neanderthal Parallax, Bk 2)

This one is much like the prior novel (which you should definitely read first), only now travel between universes is easy, and the language issue is essentially solved.

The rape scene in the first book is now the basis for other things, though it's still kind of smarmy-feeling.

More inter-societal philosophy exchange; and politics which runs entirely too smoothly.

It's a reasonably enjoyable book. It gets up to four stars. But the "new ideas" of the prior novel really aren't here.

4 of 5 stars.
