From the start I was not predisposed to like this novel. The premise was weird, the plot implausible, the characters stilted. I started it a Monday afternoon and finished it the next morning. This novel worked into my mind and given its premises did a good job of finishing the trilogy. I gave it an extra ½ star FOR finishing it off as a trilogy. I am sick of other authors who start the arch of a story that needs to span several book and then 9 books later you wonder if there will ever be an end. I am speaking not of book series of a future world, but of stories with an arch. I have read the two prior books, and they were memorable enough, like this one, where I could remember enough of them to remember them as I read this one. I did feel a blankness as I followed the cold equations of how many people could be supported with 19th Century technology on earth.
