A review by vinayvasan
Going Dark by Linda Nagata
3.0
That ended a bit differently than I expected given the nature and the atmosphere that the author had built up. The book is fantastic for 90% and then there is a feeling of a bait and switch. It works sometimes and this is one of the occasions where I feel it doesnt work.
As always, the action is fantastic, the pace is riveting and the conflicts are intensely personal and yet far reaching. The wonderfully cynical tone continues and the layers of mistrust and deception keep on building as our lead character wrestles with the after effects of his decision from the previous book even as he finds himself with a new team.
The character interactions are fascinating even as politics and power raise their ugly head. If only, the ending had been something different... Sigh...
