The next
part in the Diving Universe series. This part continues pretty much from where
the former ended while there are some chapters which are flashbacks to earlier
books which are now presented from another point of view. For example, we learn
what happened at the Room of Lost Souls. It wasn’t as straightforward an
operation as Captain Jonathon “Coop” Cooper - who was flung from the past in a
working Dignity Vessel (which paradoxically is by far the most “modern” and
powerful warship ever seen by any living person) - was led to believe. The
“Boss”, the heroine of the earlier parts is starting to study the “graveyard”,
a location in the space filled with shipwrecks, and which is protected by a
forcefield. And the Empire who lost its main research base in a raid organized
by “Coop” and the “Boss” is not going to stand quietly by when their “cloaking”
experiments are destroyed. A very exciting book that was fast and fun to read,
and it was very easy to follow in spite of several viewpoint characters and several
timelines it tracked. It is a vastly better book than the plot synopsis (which
sounds slightly “pulpish”) with well described and believable characters and
enjoyable writing. I already purchased the next part.
326 pp.
