Appartient à la sérieThe Spin Trilogy (3)
It is a hundred millennia after Iron Gods. The Spin is nearing the end of its life. Its inhabitants are divided between those who live unknowingly in the relative paradise of one of hundreds of Virtual Realities - vrealities - and those who scrape a living in what remains of the real world. The massive servers needed to maintain the vrealities are draining the resources of the Spin. And an escalating, desperate and seemingly futile war has begun between those who tend the servers and those who believe they should be shut down, killing millions. But one amongst these unwitting combatants will discover the real nature of the vrealities - and his role in their fate. From a remote star system, a being has been observing the Spin for several lifetimes. He is Skarbo the Horologist and he is about to die for the very last time. He has come to accept that he will never visit the object of his studies but is coerced into making one last journey. His final destination lies across a war-torn galaxy. And there he will learn of the Spin's past - and its astonishing future . . . Returning to the extraordinarily envisioned artificial planetary cluster called the Spin, Stone Clockis the dazzling new space opera from the acclaimed author of Creation Machineand Iron Gods.

I was kindly given a copy of Stone Clock from author, Andrew Bannister (AB), in exchange for a review. From my perspective the timing could not have been better as I was just starting the first book in the trilogy, Creation Machine.
This trilogy is big picture space opera. I hate to compare an author's work with others, but it did have some flavour of Bank's Culture books and AB does convey the ideas of the current world's is based upon what has gone before. Although there were one or two times I was not quite sure what was going on (I genrally had an idea), the trilogy is very readable and with an interesting cast of characters. I especially liked The Bird.
Stone Trilogy was the best of the three books, with some great concepts, especially those relating to virtual realities, the speeds at which they run and huge timescales. All books have a host of landscapes which varied from the beautiful to the weird and I can only imagine that AB's imagination was in overdrive. The Spin itself is a great idea and in the end there is even logic to it's madness
In summary this is a fast-paced, accessible and fun conclusion to a great big universe of a space opera trilogy. There may even be room for a little more Spinning.
