This is volume three of the Tipping Point Trilogy. My biggest complaint is that I haven’t read
the previous two books. This is a quest
for truth in a desert populated by widely varied mutants.
Dr. Ingrid and Whispr, a meld, spend a lot of time ducking
and weaving through an enormous number of adversaries. A meld is apparently a genetically or
surgically reconstructed being. I would
know for sure if I didn’t have another complaint. That complaint would be almost a total lack
of back story. Although the book stood
alone quite well, it would have been better with some back story. For example, I would know precisely how melds
are created.
The creativity Foster exhibits in his characters and plots
is to be applauded. I have read much of
his work and have been uniformly pleased.
This story is no exception.
Anthropomorphism is involved and if you have read any of my posts, you
are aware of how much I enjoy that.
I really enjoyed the book, the extreme diversity and
complexity of the characters and the ending which was not predictable.
I recommend the book.
