Another fun read in this series - I'm really digging the "sci-fi noir" genre that Zahn's writing in for this.

kuoirad reviewed Neptune's Brood by Charles Stross

No cover — Charles Stross: Neptune's Brood (2013, Little, Brown Book Group Limited)

Review of "Neptune's Brood" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Would have done 4.5 stars if I could've.

Slow-ish start, but it sped up nicely. Had a bit of a Stephenson-esque ending (ran into a wall and over).

An enjoyable read, better than Saturn's Children, I think.

kuoirad reviewed Seveneves by Neal Stephenson

Review of 'Seveneves' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Mr. Stephenson is back to running into a wall at the end, like with Cryptonomicon and Snow Crash.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first two parts of the book, but part three felt tacked on and perhaps even unnecessary. That may have contributed to my "complaint" about the seeming lack of an ending.
