I wasn't very keen on this book, partly because of the multiple points of view, not something I am a fan of at the best of time, and as I disliked most of the characters, and wished Rob Broadhead was as prominent this time as in Gateway. I was always waiting impatiently for his next appearance. The early part of the book, about the teenager Wan and the whole situation on the Heechee artifact was rather confusing, it took time to understand the situation. The hard science went completely over my head, I am no physicist, and I just had to go with the flow with all the difficult science. I wouldnt know a Mach Principle from a Mack truck. We did learn more about the Heechee and their aims and some idea of their location, but in such an oblique offhand way that it was a bit disappointing. Still, the book was a reasonable read and I was happy that Rob got rich again, but I am wary about what will happen next about his wife who disappeared into a black hole, as I dislike love triangles, and I like Essy his second wife lol. But I will certainly look out for the next adventure.
