Not the return to the clouds I expect
Revisado: 09-26-12
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
If you've read the earlier books in the series you might as well read this one. However I did not like the answers to the questions this book explorers. So I'd recommend it if you really wanted to but it's not the best in the series.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
"Really" Of all the answers to Omega Clouds, what are they, what makes them, etc. and this is all you could come up with?
What about Khristine Hvam’s performance did you like?
She is excellent. She was the reason I pressed on finishing the book.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No.
Any additional comments?
It was nice to have Hutch up front and center in this one.

Revisting the cloud
Revisado: 09-10-12
What did you love best about Omega?
I appreciated revisiting the clouds, their nature, and possible explanations of their existence.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
To me, the clouds are the focus, hence the most interesting part of the book. The working with a native population in the path of the clouds was hit an miss for my liking.
Which scene was your favorite?
Any scene with Hutch in it. Her realizations towards the end were fun.

Third time's the charm!
Revisado: 08-06-12
If you could sum up The Last Refuge in three words, what would they be?
Another good journey.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Dewey - he's the hero. You cannot root against him.
Which character – as performed by Peter Hermann – was your favorite?
Any of the "bad" guys. The accents and voices of the bad guys were very well done.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I had problems stopping listening.
