Quite honestly, this is not my type of book. I do not usually get into the sci to genre, but this is one I would be willing to give a chance. The idea of what could happen if global warming is not prevented, is very intriguing. Thank you for the well written and informative review!

Wow! A lot of that interests me, but I try to never read series out of order.

Great job on the review. I love the idea of the human-dolphin hybrids. Does it have a satisfactory ending and/or do you think there will be more books in the series?

I have not read the preceeding book and it was a little much trying to get a grasp of the characters, their background and the overwhelming amount of subject matter. The thought that went through my mind almost immediately was that if revenge ruled then Earth and it's inhabitants would devolve to where it started...primordial ooze crawling out of the water. If one believes that!

Thanks for your review. Im very interested in this science fiction stories about the future, specially when is so far away in it. Is always fun to see how the author depicts the society of the future and the advances of technology.

I derive great enjoyment out of the term "dirt-swimmers" that you reference. It's a great way to illustrate how cultural differences can turn our assumptions on their heads. Thanks for this review!

First of all, thank you for such a detailed review.
I have read the first pages in the sample available at Amazon and I really enjoyed it. I appreciate the fact that although the novel belongs to the SF genre, it's not all about technology :D . In fact, I could see nature plays an important role in it, and as I have read from your review, there are certain values exposed in this book, which makes it easier to get close and empathize with the story.

Such a nice work of art. :techie-studyingbrown:
PS: Sorry for the "weird" English. It's not my mother tongue. :oops:

Thanks for the review. I love books that are well written and have perfect grammar. It also helps when they have all types of great emotions.
