The machine races demand a turn at the job, but the organics refuse to allow it. For more than a century, the Galactics have battled for supreme power. War and instability reign in place of peace, with every species spread over a hundred billion stars suffering as the Empire decays. James McGill discovers a scheme is underway. A new power is rising, determined to snatch the Throne from all the rest. Will this unite the Galactic Empire, or destroy it utterly?

Why is this so entertaining!
Revisado: 07-13-24
It is the same story as always, the cohort screws up everything on green deck, Galina is upset about something, Carlos is an oaf, Harris moans and Sargon dies. Winslade's misinterpretation and McGill's lack of understanding of situations are almost unbelievable at this point.
It is really strange but I find myself wishing and dreading that the story would end soon. Usually, when an author follows a formula, I am bored and checked out by the third book, yet, here we are on book 21 of the exact same thing, and it is freaking marvellous.
As always the performance is perfect with each character having a distinct sound and personality.

Four hostages are rescued from a group of religious extremists in Barcelona. After five years of being held captive together, they make a vow to always watch out for one another. But they never expected this... The world they have returned to has been transformed by water - and the water is rising. As it continues to flow from the earth's mantle, entire countries disappear. High ground becomes a precious commodity. And before 50 years have passed, there will be nowhere left to run....

A great "what-if" apolcalyptic exploration
Revisado: 10-30-10
This was a great book. It is great "hard sci-fi" and those expecting a Hollywood type ride will be disapointed. The main characters are just there to spice the story a bit, serve as an anchor and give the human perspective of the events. The book is a exploration of how events might unfold if the seas start rising. In the end it shows us how fragile our culture and knowledge really is, how quick it can be lost and how thin the layer of culture really is over the instinct of survival.
I loved this book from start to end and highly recommed the follow-up (Ark) as well. It is a bleak out look on our current world and leaves you looking at everything around you in a different way
