Publisher's summary

The conclusion to an epic interstellar trilogy of war from master of science fiction, Greg Bear.

Marooned beneath the icy, waxy crust of Saturn's moon, Titan, Skyrine Michael Venn and his comrades face double danger from Earth and from the Antagonists, both intent on wiping out their growing awareness of what the helpful alien Gurus are really doing in our solar system.

Haunted by their dead and by the ancient archives of our Bug ancestors, the former combatants must now team up with their enemies, forget their indoctrination and their training, and journey far beyond Pluto to the fabled Planet X, the Antagonists' home world, a Sun-Planet in the comet-generating Kuiper belt. It's here that Master Sergeant Venn will finally understand his destiny and the destiny of every intelligent being in the solar system - including the enigmatic Gurus.

stellar!

A fantastic and imaginative tour de force. I have enjoyed the War Dogs series immensely and book three does not disappoint!

Ending tells the future

For once an ending that satisfies. It furthers the theme of, “War Dogs” and says something of what we really are

Bear is a consummate craftsman.

Great story, huge in scope but intimately human. I've read a lot of stories by new authors and many were quite good, but Greg Bear is a Craftsman in his own class.

The performance is excellent. So many voices, women and incomprehensible aliens and the narrator nailed them all.

Worst book Bear has written

It's like a book about heaven or hell. Almost all of it is in dream state where nothing is real.
