Die Story ist sehr ähnlich aufgebaut wie im ersten Buch, aber die Charaktere sind noch oberflächlicher und die "geniale Fügung" am Ende ergibt diesmal keinerlei Sinn. Dafür dermaßen viel platte Häme über sämtliche "woken" Themen schon von Anfang an, dass es von einem Augenzwinkern weit entfernt ist. Im Mittelteil wurde es kurz wieder interessant, das Ende nur noch fürchterlich. Werde die Serie nicht weiterlesen.

Kurzweilig und unterhaltsam, aber ein paar Stellen in denen wohl zur Charakterzeichnung die teilweise sehr mysogyne Haltung des Protagonisten reproduziert werden, hätten mMn so nicht sein müssen. Insgesamt aber witzige Story

I liked the setting and the characters were great and written pretty good, plus some interesting ethical questions raised. But parts of the plot and some decisions/conclusions did not seem comprehensible at all, making the whole story feeling a bit off which was bothering me the whole read.

Fuel was expensive and physics was free, so the most economical way to get a lot of people from here to there was to depend heavily on gravity assists, which meant waiting years for the planets to align themselves in a way that facilitated a slingshot. Missed your flight? No problem, there'd be another in eight years.
