I got 61% thru the trilogy. At which point I felt bogged down in minutiae. I sorta enjoyed the part I read but it was simply too tedious.

This is by far one of the best, most addicting series of books I have read in years, a very detailed look at what may be ahead in our near future.

I can see the Asimov influence, I robot, Foundation, but Mr Bear has gone where Mr Asimov could not imagine in his time. Quite the story line. Great character development, oh , and lots of fun.
