This just in from Skyhorse Publishing. I haven't seen the full review but there's an excerpt below.
This
dizzying and unusually thoughtful space opera, which concludes the trilogy begun
in The Departure and Zero Point, shows the
tyrannical forces of Earth trying to stop a lone genius from fleeing the solar
system. Serene Galahad, Earth’s psychotic dictator, is willing to kill most of
the “human scum” and genetically alter the rest in order to mend the damage of
overpopulation. Alan Saul has been mechanically augmented until he is much more
than human, and he now questions whether preserving the humans aboard his stolen
space station is worth the bother. These two very clever opponents, armed with
mind-stretching super technology, feint and parry as they struggle for
supremacy. Mordant commentary interspersed throughout the action reminds readers
to observe how the different definitions of “humanity” influence the conflict
and the question of who—if anyone—is in the right. The result is a challenging,
extremely satisfying read.(May)
