This series continues to get better with each installment. While I don't do spoilers, I think it's okay to mention that Hoodwink returns in this book, since we all expected he'd be back, one way or another. How he returns is a new puzzle for this story. Certainly it's clear that Hoodwink is much more complex than the first book showed him to be.The plot becomes more complex as well, both Inside and Outside. I got the impression that what occurs Inside may be a bit more important than one would expect from a mere computer simulation. I wondered as I read if it's possible for a computer to become insane, or for an AI to develop human ambition. It certainly seems that there are several layers of reality on this crashed ship. Perhaps some of it is illusion, perhaps not. The story is so skillfully written that it's difficult to make a good guess. I do love when I can't predict an ending.Excellent reading!
