Oh, i'm absolutely certain i've completely misunderstood it. Partially because I didn't feel there was that much to misunderstand, which is always a sign with Wolfe that I haven't paid enough attention.<div>
<br></div><div>For what it's worth, I liked it better than AEG but probably not as much as TSH. I feel like it started out really strongly, but gets completely bogged down halfway through (the action starts to disappear and get replaced with extremely long conversations where it feels like Skip is just explaining the same things to different people). The ending also felt very left-field and tacked on, which of course means I missed something. After I finish a couple other books I got with my Kindle gift card i'll revisit it (hopefully with a bit of clarifying discussion from this board.)<br>
