McDevitt throws everything and the kitchen sink at Hutch and her companions, stuck on a world that's going to come apart in a few days. It's a thrill ride to be sure. Towards the end it's actually a little fatiguing because, you know, what ELSE can go wrong but still be survivable? I had a fun time guessing which characters would make it to the end. McDevitt's other series stuck to a formula, and this one has many similarities to the previous Hutch novel, so these may all have a similar plot. No matter it was a lot of fun if not terribly thought-provoking, but McDevitt did a good job making us mourn for all the lost opportunities...who were the hawk and cricket people, what was the light out at sea, all the other things that make up a world and are now gone.
