The journey continues! Simmons adds even more depth in his already deep and mesmerizing story; in the third book of the series we meet quite a few familiar faces and places, and many many more new ones. Like in the first book, we have a small travelling party, but this time its members travel from planet to planet, hunted by the Pax, a veiled universal theocracy of the reborn Catholic Church. Thus, it's a book that combines successfully action, adventure, world-building, human-AI relationship and religions. Looking forward to reading the next one asap!
