Title: What happened to the series?
Product review: This certainly isn't the book I expected after reading Coalescent. Where Coalescent was an interesting exploration of how a new form of human society could form, and had fairly well thought out characters and dialog, Exultant almost completely drops every one of the themes from the first book, and takes a hard right into space opera. Except for one or two incredibly brief nods to the eusocial societies of the first book, Exultant is pretty much wall to wall blazing lasers with stock characters. Some of the concepts are interesting, but it all needed to be sorted out much better.
