He's found a way to end their war, but will humanity survive to see it?
Idris Telemmier has uncovered a secret that changes everything -- the Architect's greatest weakness. A shadowy Cartel scrambles to turn his discovery into a weapon against these alien destroyers of worlds. But between them and victory stands self-interest. The galaxy's great powers would rather pursue their own agendas than stand together against this shared terror.
Human and inhuman interests wrestle to control Idris's discovery, as the galaxy erupts into a mutually destructive war. The other great obstacle to striking against their alien threat is Idris himself. He knows that the Architects, despite their power, are merely tools of a higher intelligence. Deep within unspace, their masters are the true threat. Masters who are just becoming aware of humanity's daring - and taking steps to exterminate this annoyance forever.
excellent and detailed
Trying to intellectually visualize the layers of physics that Tchaikovsky works through is difficult, but I would highly recommend the trilogy. It’s a good series
Expertly wraps up the series with a satisfying ending. The baddies are suitably explained and our plucky band of heroes as heroic as they need to be.
I did find the multiple POV in the final showdown to be a distraction, something that didn't bother me at all in the rest of the series. But I really liked how all of the characters polt lines were resolved, very satisfying.
The whole trilogy was great with adventure, intrigue and imagination to spare.
I reviewed this novel for the Hugo-winning blog Nerds of a Feather:
