I was reading along and suddenly realized that I was done. I couldn't bring myself to care about or empathize with the main character, so while I wanted to find out what happened after the earlier series was done it wasn't worth the slogging through this thing to get there.
I can only give this book three stars because the story just stops in the middle. It is interesting and well written, but it leaves things very unresolved. Not exactly a cliffhanger, but still unsatisfying.
On further consideration, I'm upping my rating to four stars because I reckon it was the publisher not Stross that broke the story at an unfortunate point.
I accidentally started book series at wrong book (this is #7), but now that I have all six prior books worth of context, I can say that this book is truly staggering in scope. An amazing sci-fi spy novel from start to finish.
