Status Updates From Clay's Ark (Patternmaster, #3)

The jump from mid-20th century in the 2nd book to what might be 23rd century in this book doesn’t follow the narrative of the previous books & is disorienting. The only links so far are,(in name only), to Clay from the second book & Doro, (the previous antagonist), appears to have been replaced by a disease that causes his compulsions to arise in the infected characters. This is my least favorite of the series.
