This was an outstanding story. Earth is fighting Romeo through multiple
alternative realities after surviving a
The planet is divided into non-incorporated people,
settlements and cities. The cities are
the core of the defense, the settlements feed the cities and the others range
the world in an unstructured, random tribal manner.
Black provided a large cast but spent sufficient time
crafting each so that you got a good feel from their behavior, feelings and
actions. The aliens inadvertently
introduced the Earth to a magic like power fueled by fontani people who provide
the power to build the marvels of the city and defenses.
Black successfully blends the nomadic gypsy like folks with
the settlement people and the often arrogant city people. Black shows how cooperation, particularly from
diverse elements can succeed where fighting alone would fail.
This was a totally captivating book and it seems to set up a
sequel, I can’t wait to read it.
I highly recommend.
