Virtual 12 sided dice roll: 2
For seven books, Kage Baker has teased us with knowledge of the Silence. Now, in the eighth novel, everyone is preparing for the end of history, 2355. Since Dr Zeus Corporation has no records beyond this date, it is assumed that there will be a significant shift in reality. There are lots of theories but no facts. Each faction makes plans based on their own desires and preferences, planning the future in their own image.
As readers, we get to spend time with all of the various interest groups and hear what they're plotting and see where they are going to conflict with each other. Meanwhile, Mendoza and Edward Bell-Fairfax are busy solving the problem of Nicholas and Alec needing to be re-embodied.
The ending seems to wrap things up, maybe not neatly, but finishing the story arc. And yet, there are more books. It will be interesting to see what those are all about.
Book number 502 of my Science Fiction and Fantasy Reading Project
