Solid conclusion to a great series. It is a long read like the other two books in the trilogy, but I found it engaging and exciting throughout, kind of like Tom Clancy in space. I've read lots of other reviews that talk about the ending as "deus ex machina", but I didn't find it that way at all. It was unexpected nor out of the blue - it's referenced starting in the 2nd book, and that's the frickin' title of this book - and of course the scale of the story is so huge, it has to be something that's a big resolution. Hamilton's writing is great; it never seems gratuitious in any way, though I guess you could complain about the pacing since his works seem to be very long in general. Overall, very satisfying, I have a good feeling of accomplishment getting through this series.
