The end of the trilogy, as the previous books, science, politics and humanity.
Longevity treatments seemed to be the end of death, except by accident, but the quick decline hits the first hundred and science has to come to the rescue, will it succeed. We won't know....
In this book, Mars scientists invent a new propulsion system that allows travelling so fast that moving in the solar system becomes so quick that all the system is quickly settled, and makes the intergalaxy travels posible.
In Earth overpopulation is still a problem and they see Mars as the solution, but Mars ecosystem is weak and Mars settlers will defend their planet. Politics have to work hard to solve the different interests of both planets.
Was this book an inspiration to The Expanse? It remembers me some things in both.
