wow...I was reading this at that same time and didn't notice your post!
I'm on Judas Unchained (sequel) now.
These books are quit a bit like the George R R Martin Series, A Song Of Ice and Fire, in that they encompass LOTS of characters and plot lines. It makes the story seem so ....BIG.
I'm right at the end of the second book......1.75 hours of the audio book left....
There were a couple things that stuck in my logic filters, but I was able to get it unjammed and enjoy it. (there's a scene where someone gets stabbed, and the knife is left in the victim...and they can't figure out who did it....and no mention of fingerprinting the knife is made.......it's way in the future, and I assume we'll still have fingerprints.....
but...yeah....good big long books, neat tech stuff and a few likeable characters....I picture Ozzy looking like Hendrix, btw...
