It is up on the Apple iBooks store as well. Downloaded and read it. It is shorter than the first 2 books in the series.

I received the hardback yesterday and read it. It was a bit thinner than a traditional Weber novel, but it was as always well-written. |

By RFC's standards, a short story. It did nicely tie up a lot of loose ends, while leaving the possibility of a later book should time, health, and interest permit. |

I doubt he would've done three books only to stop at this point in the story. If necessary the series could be concluded with one oversized book covering what happens when the Terrans and the Hegemony finally clash head-on. Backstory like what happened to the fifth founding race could be revealed and everything tied up. They should at least do that much. |

A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. |

It should be clear that the fifth race was not exterminated, but managed to go into hiding. Thaeyvhad to have been the ones you set up the cave that Vlad stumbled into, and they could not have done that in the middle of the last ice age (75000 yrs ago). Ergo some of them are still around and set the cave up after the first survey. There is still a lot of story left on the bone in the series. ========================

Considering their apparent level of technology, setting up a base during an ice age should be easy. --- Jack of all trades and destructive tinkerer. Anyone who have simple solutions for complex problems is a fool. |
