middle books are Never As Good As the First book you have some progress of the characters you may eliminate a few you may reveal more of the next book in the series but as far as middle books go this one was very good I was excited to see how the AI plan on advancing its machinations and this book seemed to guide you to a middling understanding yet not revealing what those plans are this book was a job well done by both the author and the performer I was given this book by the author but it has not influenced my opinion over it
