I finally finished The Night's Dawn trilogy. All 3,500 pages of it. It's excellent, epic science fiction. I'll call it "hard space opera." I only have one quibble with the end.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

The whole thing ends in a bit of a deus ex machina. Quite literally. Humanity's immediate problem is solved with the help of an alien technology so powerful it's described as a god. Clarke's Third Law. So rather than humanity solving their own crisis--or failing on their own--we have this technology that helps make everything better. I feel a bit cheated by it.



But the rest of the trilogy was so good I'll overlook the flaw.

I'm still considering getting a Kindle.

I'm also considering looking for a new job. I know of an opening, and I'm on vacation this week, so maybe I'll work on getting my resume in for it.

I don't know what I'm going to do all week. I think I'll get incredibly bored. Ah, boredom!
