Eyes of the Void by Adrian Tchaikovsky

The Eyes of the Void

3/5. Middle book of a trilogy, hold for opinions until the last book is out. Particularly since this book is setting up a moral conflict that I think might reduce some of the complexities here down below my level of interest. It’s setting up one of those but what if you could stop the deaths of trillions by doing something horrible things that, meh. In my mind that’s the lowest common denominator of the territory this series has thus far been playing in, where various iterations of people and aliens are painfully remade and deployed as tools under the control of various greater and greater powers. (Yeah, it’s a grim world, but also funny, here and there).
