The Lost Colony

This was the weakest of the 3 books, but in the end there was a mind bending payoff.

Other than the first few chapters setting the stage, the rest of the first half was disappointing and hard to read. What a slog to read a text version of Jurassic park. Finally that ended and we returned to learn about more about the grid. I read the first part of the reveal one evening, and was troubled to make sense of it. Feared it was going to be one of those sci-fi stories that pushed too far and had a ridiculous ending. I had to make a few notes and think about what I had read and was finally able to get an understanding of it. Was able to start the next read with optimism for the finish. What a whirlwind. Amazing trio of books. I will read more of AG again some day, but need a breather after this with something less intense.

The extended epilogue online seemed over the top. Don't bother, wish I would have skipped that.
