Another Continuance novel from Mr Powell. The nicest sf author around. I thoroughly enjoyed this, devoured in mostly one sitting. Whilst Powell still wears his influences on his sleeve perhaps a tad much, this one definitely channeled the spirit of Banks, he delivered this with vim and brio. He also seems to have gotten over my quibble with 'Stars and Bones' that he was writing a bit much with an eye to Film/TV adaptations. That made this a stronger book and it flowed better, in my opinion. Strong and engaging characters carried the story along with zip and I definitely wanted to know what happened next. I will definitely, give this a recommend.
