Title: Disappointing
Review: Those who expect an answer to the questions volumes 1 and 2 have promised would be solved in vol. 3 may be disappointed. The whole book concentrates more and more on the war between the Marines and China, and nothing else. As readers we have been waiting for three books, and then we only get a few lines of information about the aliens/ancestors at the end. The Alpha Centauri plot in the middle of the novel ends abruptly and is never continued.The good action and story of vols. 1 and 2 has now been institutionalised and the fighting gets boring. It is not conceivable that the nations on Earth would behave like this in face of such an enormous discovery. Maybe this book is the preparation of volume four, money has frequently generated trilogies with more than 3 volumes. But if this is the case, we as readers expect more tension and more substance. This book is weak in comparison to the others.
