Dark Light by Ken MacLeod

3.0

Unlike the first book, _Dark Light_ is one continuous time line. But if you are looking to learn more about Gregor & Elizabeth, the main characters from book 1, they are pushed to the background. Matt takes a central role, along with other Cosmonauts. Plus a couple new characters.

We learn a bit more about the gods, the saurs and how the human second sphere works. But it bogs down into politics. Somehow the primary Cosmonauts will be able to shift the human population in how they govern in a short amount of time. I wanted to see more of the adventure of the first book, but once they talk to the gods, its political posturing. ick.
