The story opens with news that the Artifacts, centerpiece of this series, seem to be changing and, in some cases, disappearing. To further complicate matters, Artifact expert Darya Lang finds her academic turf threatened with the sudden appearance of newcomer Quintus Bloom who tells her he has discovered a new Artifact and also has a theory about the Builders and the purpose of their Artifacts. He thinks they were built by future humans to foster our development. In a huff, Darya Lang sets out to explore Labyrinth and prove Bloom wrong. Hans Rebka, after a lover's quarrel with Lang, has no idea where she went and undertakes the exploration of another newly altered Artifact. Meanwhile, Louis Nenda and Atvar H'sial enter Bloom's employ as he explores the Torvil Anfract, the Artifact discovered in the last book of the series, TRANSCENDENCE. The simultaneous exploration of these Artifacts gets a trifle tedious and confusing, but the characters make up for it. Humans reached the stars and found the Artifacts--enigmatic structures, seemingly defying natural laws, left by an ancient vanished race. Suddenly, a new Artifact appears from nowhere, and other, older Artifacts begin to alter their already inexplicable activities. Now, a motley crew of scientists and treasure hunters set out for three different Artifacts, in search of answers. Original. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

In the beginning, humans traveled to the stars at a slow sublight crawl. Then they found the Bose Network, which allowed ships to jump instantaneously from one node in the galactic arm to another. Once in the network, they found the Artifacts, enigmatic structures millions of years old left by a vanished race. Incomprehensible to both human and nonhuman minds, the Artifacts seemingly defy natural law. Now, after millions of years, a new Artifact has appeared--and the other Artifacts are showing strange behavioral changes. A motley crew of human and alien scientists and adventurers sets out to inspect. But they should have considered the fact that some changes are more dangerous than others.

That being said, if you have read the rest of the series, this story won't disappoint. It is as good as the second book in the series, and a bit better than the third. Sure, the story does jump from one area of space to the events in another, but you won't have trouble following who's doing what as long as you're familiar with the characters.
I enjoyed how the mystery of the Builders was (almost) wrapped up. I liked how the recurring characters were further developed. I liked the space/time concepts. There is not much "techy-talk" and you don't have to understand physics to follow the story. I also don't think you really have to know/remember much about the Builder Artifacts either - the story flows along and it won't matter if you've forgotten from book 2 what the Pandora Artifact does.
There is no graphic violence or sex or foul language. While there is another book in the series, this book didn't end with such a cliffhanger that you'll have an urgent need to start the next one immediately. ( )
