Stableford finishes his Daedalus planetary exploration series. As with the other books, there's a puzzle to solve involving the colonists and a local species called the Sets. In addition the book also resolves the issue that triggered its 5 year mission to re-establish contact with colonies from 150 years before and perhaps re-kindle stellar exploration. There's some trekking back and forth and an extended adventure underground, with an explicit nod to Verne. There's also an awful lot of debate and conjecture. While the series wraps up loose ends satisfactorily (no spoilers here), it never really gains any serious heft or momentum, and you never care about any of the characters that have been around for 6 books.

HTML: The final contact made by the Daedalus Mission begins badly, even before the ship makes a hard landing in the middle of nowhere. The situation of the colony doesn't seem to make any sense, and neither does the situation of the indigenous aliensâ??the Setsâ??that have helped the colony survive and thrive. Alex Alexander doesn't take long to work out a hypothesis that might explain the mysteryâ??a hypothesis that the people on the ground have already worked out for themselvesâ??and he's fortunate enough to fall in with a colonist who's obsessively determined to prove the hypothesis. Unfortunately, the quest seems likely to become so dangerous that both of them might die tryingâ??and there's too much at stake not to take it to the very limit of possibility, no matter what the cost.
