Das Buch ist ok, kommt aber nicht an die Genialität von Band 1 heran.
Schöne philosophische Ansichten über Biologismus, Religion usw. Erinert da fast ein bischen an "Echopraxia"

I really dug First Contact, and was looking forward to this second book for quite a while. Looking back at my review for that book, I said my desire for more of the story was leavened more than a little with wishing that something, anything was explained or resolved, and here, after 350 more pages, nothing has been explained or resolved. On top of that the book has a severe case of middle-itis; it is only concerned with moving pieces into place for the next volume, and it makes people act in stupid ways and not talk to each other just so it can do that.
I still liked it well enough to burn through it at a pretty good pace, and I still want to read the next book -- all that setup has to be for something, right?
