Customer Reviews

Pleasing, but where is the sequel

Beautifully written, this book captures an alien mystique that is humanity at its best and worst. All of the alien worlds come together with her finest characters from her earlier books. My greatest compliment to this book is that it can be read individually without the need to read the other books in the series. (although I would hate to miss those.) However, I have waited six years for the sequel that is promised in the last chapters of the book in an unresolved relationship. Perhaps, that to, is humanity at its best and worst.

The end of all creation

All of Franklins best character are swept together in a tale of mind boggling magnitude. What begins as Quine Hambly's curiosity about aliens escalates into Jase Slied's inquisition against Network. But humanities ambitions could carry a terible price. For, the healer marrach knows that the stars have begun to bleed, and the Ghost shadow may destroy all universes.
