I know, I was really disappointed too. I guess they release when it's midnight in California?

drat, I was really hoping we'd find out what was going on with the Martians at Lacoste... and what was eating the ships going through the gates.

I actually really liked Duarte's characterization, the authors did a fairly good job in Strange Dogs and the new book setting him up as a plausible potential undying Plato-ish philosopher king/tyrant. One of my few complaints is actually how little he appeared in the real meat of the story. I was hoping for a lot of personal intervention from him in Medina that demonstrated how this brilliant monster actually governed.

The other thing that rubbed me a little bit the wrong way was how quickly Earth and Mars surrendered. They lost a quarter of their fleet to one ship and then lost their sovereignty forever? I guess maybe the population of an entire solar system entering some fever state for a few minutes simultaneously might have a somewhat jarring effect though, so it's not *that* bad.
