A fascinating near-future epic alien encounter fiction. I liked it, and I've gone straight onto the next in the series: Across the Sea of Suns by Gregory Benford.

They are getting a little grim, not so much in their actual events but in the background assessment of human nature. A couple of train journeys mean I'm nearly finished with the next book, and I think I'll need a break from the series before going on.
