Well, that was a roller coaster of a journey, with Jean le Flambeur, through the eccentric universe of the Zoku, Sobornost, and the Oort. As for the ending - I may need to read that bit again - it requires a bit more quantum processing. Of the whole trilogy I enjoyed this book less than the previous two.
However, overall, it is probably one of the best hard SF trilogies I have read. The author has a scientific background and it shows in the science that is described in the novels. It can be mind bogglingly difficult to follow.
Great stuff!
Book three in Rajaniemi's Flambeau trilogy.
The first line: "Alone on the timeless beach, Joséphine Pellegrini finds herself disappointed by the end of the world." After all her hard work. A bit of a fizzer as it turned out.
