The Grande Finale of the Company Series
There have now been ten or eleven books in hte Company series if you count Gods and Pawns and Black Projects along with Rude Mechanicals which have novella and other shorter fiction. The series has brought us time travel, an evil megacorp, Dr. Zeus, Edward Alton Bell-Fairfax, a Victorian "superman", Joseph and Lewis the Preservers, Alex and Nicholas, cyborgs, a hearty Pirate AI, plagues, conspiracies, and William Randoplh Hearst as a hero, and his dachshunds all called Helen, adventures through time and space, literary and historical references galore, lots of delicious irony, and in this latest and alas last book? Tiara Parakeet, an elfin princess, well a High Hybrid who aids Lewis.
What a splendid ending! Suleyman and Latif take action, Victor takes revenge on Aegeus and Labienus and their cliques in what's best described as a Danse Macabre, or a Masque of Death? The company is exposed. Mendoza makes a garden.
Read it if you havnt already. I had to wait for the library to get it! Again.
