Followup to Crystal Rain
. Aha, so this series is actually space opera:
we get to see the wider galaxy that Nanagada was cut off from in the first
book. The first section's pretty impressive in itself; I'll not spoil the rest
of it. Recommended if you like Alastair Reynolds and would prefer something a
bit more succinct.
