I really liked the idea. And the first half of the book worked OK. But the second half was a disappointment. I just couldn't beleive the stuff at the end (that is, the human reactions to it), and I thought that the implications of the first half were just ignored.
Of course, when you set up a story requiring an explanation of conciousness, that's likely to happen.
Next up: 1635: Music and Murder by David Carrico. I have read most of this before, in various short stories that have appeared in the Grantville Gazette series over the years. I hope I'll enjoy seeing them all tidied up and put together in one long narrative.
I actually started
Red Seas under Red Skies by Scott Lynch instead. Looking like a good sequel so far. (Although I'd have preferred a more linear narrative at the start, I can understand why it was done as it was.)
