Termination Shock

A tough one to judge. Even bad Stephenson's tend to be “good” At the outset I was hoping for the pace of Reamde but with the science of Seveneves but I got neither. Both are good but neither excel so the plot is very interesting but I think I hoped to learn more on the consequences (Short medium and long like Seveneves) of the Sulphur gun but apart from introducing the concept the main bulk of the story tends to be character driven, but without the Reamde success. I know NS does not do sequels but this ones really does seem incomplete without one.
