Of Alan's early years in the City...
Of what's been happening with Andromeda and others back on the Potato...
More about what the society made up of quadrillions of humans in the distant future is like...
What happened when Banner Dawson found Pioneer 10 past the orbit of Pluto...
All about the problem with the in between place...
What the Qrail have been up to since Al, John, and Annabelle barely escaped from them with their lives...
And how Boris' chess is coming along.

Slow to start, but worth the wait
I've been cruising along in the series, but I was initially worried that perhaps we had hit a bump in the road with this installment. However, with a bit of patience, things started to roll. There also is a bit in the middle that discusses scientific reasoning about a problem that is a tad longish. I understood it, but I wanted the plot to move along. By this time, I was vested. [Yes, I know this is the whole point of the title. Yes, sometimes I do have a short attention span. I encourage you to read this book with only one caveat - read the first seven books first.]

Weakest book in the series
Not the best work of the series. Following the characters remained interesting but the descriptions of light and time and the Qrail (or whatever) characters were incoherent and incomprehensible.
