    About this audiobook

    Travel to the remotest reaches of deep space in this wondrous follow-up to the acclaimed Noumenon-a tale of exploration, adventure, science, and humanity with the sweep and intelligence of the works of Arthur C. Clarke, Neal Stephenson, and Octavia Butler. Generations ago, Convoy Seven and I.C.C. left Earth on a mission that would take them far beyond the solar system. Launched by the Planet United Consortium, a global group formed to pursue cooperative Earth-wide interests in deep space, nine ships headed into the unknown to explore a distant star called LQ Pyx. Eons later, the convoy has returned to LQ Pyx to begin work on the Web, the alien megastructure that covers the star. Is it a Dyson Sphere, designed to power a civilization as everyone believes-or something far more sinister? Meanwhile, Planet United's littlest convoy, long thought to be lost, reemerges in a different sector of deep space. What they discover holds the answers to unlocking the Web's greater purpose. Each convoy possesses a piece of the Web's puzzle . . . but they may not be able to bring those pieces together and uncover the structure's true nature before it's too late.

      I would really like to read this book, I enjoyed Noumenon very much and am looking forwards to the sequel. Unfortunately, it is still only available in Audiobook format, which is not a format any true reader wants. PLEASE put the book up! I tried to listen to the audiobook instead, but the pace, the woman's voice, where the emphasis is put in each sentence and the tone it's read with..... HORRIBLE, couldn't listen to more than 10 minutes and I gave up.

      Whaddaya know, I actually liked this more the second time around! I still stand by what I said two years ago, but my stance has changed. I still didn't feel deeply with anyone, but that is to be expected when the timeline consistently jumps multiple generations and so forth. I also really liked the ending this time, but maybe that's affected by the fact that now I'm in possession of the third book and get to keep going with the series.

      Original review 03/2019:
      I very much enjoyed this book, but I didn't love it. Let me start with the cons that kept this from being a five star read: 1) the characters, 2) the writing. Which is not to say either was bad! The characters simply didn't make me feel either sympathy or empathy, and the writing was just "good enough". I felt wildly interested in the story, but I wasn't invested in it, if that makes sense. I wanted to know what it was all about, but I didn't really care one way or the other. Also, I saw the twist coming pretty early on, which sort of dampened my enjoyment.

      All of the four stars I gave the book were for the concepts of this book, as well as to the plot to a certain extent. I love books that force me to pay attention and aren't afraid to have complex plots. I also love fake science in scifi, so this is definitely a book for me in that regard. If you're someone who wants their scifi to be believable and pertain to the knows laws of physics, you might be a little bit miffed with this.

      The ending was a little difficult to make my peace with, because it definitely leaves questions unanswered. I'm not sure if it feels intentional enough for me, or if the author just ran out of steam. Either way, the ending was okay enough to leave me with a good taste in my mouth, so I'm not too mad about it.

      It had some big and interesting SF ideas but was let down by the structure. It jumped about through place and time too suddenly - there were long stretches of one strand of story, then a sudden jump to another strand with new characters and different issues and just as I was getting settled into that, another jump maybe back to the first strand, maybe elsewhere. It could also have done with a slower, more detailed denouement - there were unanswered questions and glossed over explanations that could have been more developed. So, interesting, but needed more work.
