The Sythians Invaded Again
Dark Space, the last refuge of humanity, is overrun; its citizens are either enslaved or dead. The relentless Sythians have slaughtered humanity wherever they could find them, and now only a few hundred survivors remain. Desperate to escape, these few chase rumors of a lost sector of humanity and end up on Avilon, a planet covered with a vast, kilometers-high city that lies hidden and shielded from the rest of the galaxy by its impossibly advanced technology and its benevolent ruler - Omnius, the artificial intelligence who would be god to his human creators.
Humanity Found Refuge on Avilon
Omnius reveals that no one really died in the war - he couldn't save them from the Sythians, but he did find a way to record the contents of their brains and resurrect them all in the bodies of immortal clones. Omnius keeps a record of everyone's mind in order to make predictions about the future and prevent people from making mistakes. The result is a perfect paradise where you can be assured of a happy, successful life for the rest of eternity - just so long as you are willing to give up your freedom and submit to Omnius' will. If you refuse you can live in the Null Zone, a city that lies cloaked in shadows below the immortal paradise where Omnius reigns supreme. In the Null Zone humanity has its freedom, but the result is chaos, death, and forced separation from everyone living in the Upper Cities of Avilon.
Paradise for Some Is a Prison for Others
To Ethan Ortane, who spent years exiled on a prison world in Dark Space, Avilon and its utter lack of freedom is the Netherworld incarnate, and Omnius the Devlin himself. His son, Atton, is not so sure - it's hard to argue with Omnius' governance when death and suffering have become just a distant memory. Even better, it looks like Avilon, with all of its advanced technology, might finally be able to put an end to the Sythians.

I cannot believe where this series has gone. If you thought this was just a good-guys versus bad-guys sci-fi book, then you haven't read this episode.It was bad enough that the humans all died or were captured in the battle for Dark Space, but then they all got resurrected on Avilon through their Life-links they didn't even know they had. All except Admiral Hoff. Turns out he was an Avilonian from way back. What seemed like a wonderful idea, to die in battle only to live again on Avilon in a new and better clone body was a lot to comprehend in the last book, but now we have to really figure out if that's a good thing or not.I would not want to discuss this book In a book club. There would be so many different views on what Ominus is doing that people would probably be throwing things at each other! Ethan has an attitude problem! His Dad had an attitude problem. They both do not like authority nor do they like to be controlled by someone. But, is Ominus really "controlling" everyone. Is it wrong to have someone tell you when you might be making a mistake? Is it wrong for something to let you make mistakes as long as they don't hurt you or anyone else? I'm glad I'm not answering any of those questions.Ethan and his wife, Alara have to choose between remaining in Etheria or going to the Null Zone. Now, here is a difficult decision: stay in Paradise or go to some place resembling Hell! It's a difficult decision if you're someone that's always been on their own and always believe you've been making your own decisions. I don't know why Ethan things he's been doing such a great job of doing for himself because he really hasn't. I believe he sent some time in prison because of his past mistakes so why is he fighting the opportunity to take it easy in Paradise. I guess some people just couldn't face being bored all the time.Now, Atton, Ethan's son has shown up and he also has to make a choice. You need to read the book to see what he does. It also impacts his girlfriend. Ok, let's get back to the Sythanian problem. They now control Dark Space and have a lot of humans captured and turned into slaves. As you know, Sythanians don't fight in wars. They let their slaves do it for them although there are a lot of Sythanians on the ships in Dark Space. Omnius is going to send his Peacekeepers out to wipe out the Sythanians once and for all. Or can he? He believes the Sythanians don't have the capability to see through his ships cloak, but is that true?It's interesting how authors can write an argument into their stories and then explain both sides to logical perfection! I don't know how they do it. I guess my mind isn't that open. I know when something isn't right, but that doesn't mean it's really bad, does it?If my last statement confuses you, read this book. You'll find a lot more statements just like it. I can't wait for the final episode.

By Amazon Customer This one rocks away from the the action yet more than book IV, eschewing the earlier, more conventional space opera/action adventure that Scott did so well in the first coupla books in the Dark Space series. He continues on with the existential challenges faced by the various players in his cast as they measure themselves, and each other, for fit in their new homes, be they conforming comforted completely pragmatic, if legally, and perhaps literally soulless world of the big O, or the much more challenging, confrontational and chaotic, if more soul satisfying and daringly deontological digs deep, deep, down- town.All alliteration aside, this is a more philosophical novel that confronts and challenges the reader to pick sides, or if not pick, understand the difference between sides in the perennial debate between the pragmatic, ends-justify-the - measure utilitarian world view, and the means-ARE-an-end, do the right thing regardless of consequence, deontological (just a fancy word for 'do the right thing, regardless of consequence) world view.As in the previous book, it feels like there's more exposition than action, but there are enough big reveals and interesting ideas sprinkled casually around (ie, he give one sentence, one word in the sentence, 'bacti-crete', iirc, which evokes a purpose built bacteria that eats whatever, dirt, toxic waste, doesn't really matter, and excrete a concrete like substance in a controlled manner. Brilliant little Sci Fi pearl that like RAH's 1930's crazy idea of a water-filled bed, might be a reality in generation or three. Good stuff, and enough of it to keep you turning the page, and invested in the world building along with the characters and their stories.

Rollercoaster of feelings By Wraptor I was really enjoying the book until I realized that I was 75% through th book and there couldn't be enough space to finish. With that said I thought this was the last book (minus one star). Then I find out there is one more to the series to come. So I then breathe a sigh of relief. So I continue reading and from about 75% thru the epilogue the book felt rushed. I assume that the deadline was close and the publisher was screaming for the book. I don't like when an author does that. This whole book felt inconsistent overall. The beginning was like the previously released books but took a turn for the worse when the author tried to get to much in at the end (minus second star). The author should take the time to tell the story. Don't rush it and try to get so much in at the end. Maybe move some of the info to the prologue of the next book or to the next book itself and add another book. I mean your fans wait with you this far. We won't mind a little longer. Up until the end of this book I was happy with how things had been separated between books.
