I know of an off-site review of this page at http://srehn.com/books/sb_coalescent.html but I feel it would be dishonest for me to link to it because it's on my site.
If anybody else feels it's appropriate to put that link there, do so, but I won't.
Feel free to hack down or add to the Plot Synopsis. I feel I have summarized all the major events, but creative writing is not my strong point. I know those words can be rearranged more charismatically and aesthetically. I'll finish summarizing Part VI tomorrow.
As a side note, I think this book opens up a very interesting viewpoint on humanity; I can understand the historical indulgence in Regina's time was to attract the historically-minded. Baltakatei 08:45, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
I got one question. It's the only Baxter's book that I read and I found that militaristic nightmare in the flashforward pretty disturbing. I wonder how is it showed in another novels? Are actions of Coalition justified by Xeelee threat or are they just motivated by mad colonialism? And,in stories set after the fall of Coalition,is it seen as a dark part of human history? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.150.48.89 ( talk) 00:46, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
