3rd in this series sees an unnecessary shift of narrator and plot that feels fine, but not amazing. Moving readers away from the narrative style and key relationships/conflict of the former two novels is a bold choice and it's ok. This novel focuses a lot on the terrorist and sabotage actions coming from people who will be left behind as Earth dies. While it's quite well done, it also feels like the punches are pulled, people never quite descend, there's always a delay, a slower approach, something less noticeable or complex. I guess if the world was really ending terrorists wouldn't plan long term sabotage of Mars, but maybe more assassinations, riots and short term hedonism, some of which exists, but not much really does.
