First of all I just want to say that I really love this series overall.  That said, i was disappointed with this book.  The book spent way too much time dealing with the Earthly politics yet again and very little time with the potentially more exciting prospects of Mars and the happenings there. I can't really discuss it too much without spoiling but there was plenty of potential here for some more excitement that was passed over. Of course, I am not just a thrill seeker, I also enjoy technical discourse but that was also sadly lacking.  The title of this book was "NextGen" but we didn't actually learn anything new about the next gen characters. The America One crew picked up some new recruits but they were all glossed over if they were even discussed at all.  In the end, it felt like TI Wade got tired of writing this series and just tried to wrap it up as quickly as possible.
