Anyone else manage to get through this book? I felt that much like Primordium it dragged out too much. Phillips being lost too much and the focus on Halsey being a bad person really brought the excitement in the book down tremendously. Although when Hood got to exercise the strength of Infinity it started to pick up. But It really does set up the 3rd book nicely and I look forward to seeing Naomi's confrontation with her father and Jul's quest to find the Didact.
Overall not the strongest book in the EU, but not the worst book. Karen Traviss could have stepped up the game a bit more. Opinions?

I just can't agree with that. I thought the book made characters more human is just about every aspect. I'm not quite sure how to explain this, but the books just don't seem as rigid in their plot points, which in my opinion, is a good thing. The books are certainly unpredictable, and the characters are certainly enjoyable. Plus, there's a good deal of humor. I laughed a few times in the books, and it's amazing how quick it goes from light humor to a more serious tone. Overall, I'd love to see more action, but the talking parts are fantastic.
