The problem with this book is that this is hard hard hard science. Like crazy hard. Its about terraforming all the planets and moons in our solar system and I just could not follow it for the life of me. Humans have evolved into many different forms as a result of habitating all these far off worlds, but again, it was too much to visualize. Throughout our passages of transcripts of the state of humankind, it read like broken computer fragments. And at the base of all this is a hard boiled detective story which guess what? I couldn't follow either. A lot of discussion on the roles of AI and how many evolved humans have just had them inserted into them and then turning against them.
There was just so much terminology for the terraforming, planet bases, that makes me believe that this could be a REALLY GREAT TV series. But the book, couldn't do it. I did like this author's Shaman, which was a fictional account of shamans in the neolithic period, that one was really good. Not this one though.
