Review: I have just finished this book and put it down with a big yawn. There is a mix of characters and points of views, introducing of new characters (sometimes interesting as Marc Anthony), boring the reader with other characters even the author seemed to be no longer interested in after some chapters, and a very unsatisfactory solving of open threads (Wan). The Heechee parts are amusing and have the old Gateway feeling but that is pretty much all that is left from novels 1-3. And the endless obsessions about food might be amusing in the beginning but is soon getting really boring.All in all this seems more a sum of sketches and scenes hold together by some strained plot than a decent book as we know and can expect from F. Pohl.
