I thoroughly enjoyed this book although it did not quite match the quality of the first book in the series.

2. A. J. on 12/5/2009, said:

Marvelous book. I'm torn about the whole sequel issue, however. On the one hand, the ending opens up all sorts of possibilities if not for a sequel then for works in the same universe that follow a particular character or a new character whose experiences come about as a result of the events chronicled here. On the other hand, any time you have a nice pair of sequential books, you always worry that the third in the series won't be as good as the prior two.

Best book I've read since Mother of Demons or Black on Black. There must be more I just hope I don't have to wait 7 more years for the next sequel.

Wholly satisfying.

5. Mark on 12/3/2009, said:

Different from the first, but a worthy sequel which sets up the possibility for quite a few more plot lines. Reminds of the Through the Looking Glass series from Ringo, except more story and less hard science.

Here it is, the much awaited sequel to The Course of Empire and the wait was well worth it. Mr. Flint and Ms. Wentworth have done a marvelous job with the characterizations, the alien-ness of aliens and the plight of a persecuted people who'd simply lost hope. If you've read the first book, this is a must read!

Even better than the first book! An all day read that meshes it's different parts so well that it seems almost a shame to go from one point of view to another as it is very easy to become attached to the characters and what they are doing. The aliens do not seem to be aliens for long, as in short time you have an emotional attachment to them and their problems. Story telling at it's finest! Kudo's to the authors, please quickly write the next book( before summer if possible lol ) worth your time and your money!
