Still working on the Starfish series. Books 1 & 2 were terrific, didn't want to put them down. Book 3 is different. I'm halfway through it and so far, nothing has really happened.

Spoiler:

I'm going to finish it because in scanning ahead, Blind Sight, the conclusion Book 4, seems to be good. More later!

PS - I still highly recommend this series. There's always a stinker in a series. Think LOTR Book 2. It's worth reading just to get to Book 3.

Book 3 is different. I'm halfway through it and so far, nothing has really happened. Spoiler: Except maybe the long drawn out biography of the S&M computer guy. Underwater where the story is supposed to be taking place, the plot is sort of unraveling and it seems like Watts was using those main characters as filler. Nearly 900 pages in (2400 total on my reader), and all the "rifters" have done is suspect and accuse each other of planting the bomb on the unenhanced executive habitat. And for no real reason, at some point during the 5 yrs between the end of Book 2 and beginning of Book 3, the two main character archenemies have become chums. I'm going to finish it because in scanning ahead, Blind Sight, the conclusion Book 4, seems to be good. More later! PS - I still highly recommend this series. There's always a stinker in a series.
