3.0

This one started out fairly exciting with a good mystery. The whole middle section of the book, while good, had little to do with the mystery. Instead, it was a lot about the ramifications of climate change, revolutions, human greed and hubris, and the development of space exploration. Again, very interesting but not very gripping as it related to the plot. The ending was oddly hopeful, yet because of the hope it was a bit anti-climatic.
