Review: Thought provoking.
Rating: 3 out of 5

I rated the book a 3,but a solid case could easily be made for higher.Mr Nuttall uses the Science Fiction venue to paint a very stark and unpleasant picture of the future of humanity, where government and corruption and greed finally combine with the enormity of bureaucratic insanity which results in the violent collapse of civilization on a galactic scale.At the beginning of each chapter you will find an italicized paragraph or two from a fictional historian.(also a minor character in the series)I found these combined with the authors own analysis at the end of each book to be a frightening glimpse at what has begun to transpire in our own societies.Thought provoking.By no means Tolstoy, but very thought provoking.
