Brilliant Scifi concepts. The hype about Emulations being supreme beings, is well explained in this book, yet kept us wanting more till the very end. Katana has risen, after the Mennids in the previous book! The ending looks tragic, but based on my experience of this author from his two books, it’s not yet over for Jay. The phoenix will rise from the ashes again. I could rate this book 10 stars if it were up to me! For all those reading this review, read the first book before you read this one. Otherwise you might feel a bit lost in the storyline.
