And the story arc finishes. Colin is on the run trying to find a role for himself and some peace. Renata and Danny are questioning the leadership and the Trutopians have some schemes they are trying to work out. As the book progresses you find that they all have flaws and all have motives and things are very complicated.

There are times when this book works well but there were also times when I was very lost and nearly lost my interest in the story and didn't care what happened next, as long as it was definitive. The bad guys were suitably bad but somewhat black and white, it did go a way to showing that sometimes the choice isn't between right and wrong but between wrong and wronger.
