Eternals: The Unmaking of Heaven - towards the unMaking of Heaven, #5 - E-book - ePub

This is what reviewer Anthony Lund made of 'Eternals'. "The unMaking of Heaven is the equivalent of an album's title track, giving the series its title and bringing the saga to a conclusion in three separate threads covering the missing history of Space, events that have just passed and a 1st person narrative taken from the memory files of an AI robot called the Shining Knight. With hints of a future where machines have dominated life.
Like a collision of tribes, the final showdown between the Shining Knight and other machines that have been deemed Abominations by themselves and set out on a self destructive mission that could almost be related to Civil War, the final connecting of the three separate story strands brings the story to a satisfying conclusion. The final book does require a little more concentration that the previous books due to the scope and expanse of the time frames it constantly interchanges, but overall the effort is more than worth it to unlock the final pieces of this awe-inspiring multi-layered novel.
Towards the unMaking of Heaven is one of the most intricate and ambitious science fiction books that I have read in recent years, and in almost all areas it pulls off being incredibly detailed and "Sci-Fi geekish" while having a page turning quality that draws the reader in and pushes them to learn more of this new creation, this new mythos almost. For lovers of Sci-Fi, this is a book that I would recommend beyond doubt.
For everyone else I would still recommend the book, as the novels are written in a way that does not seem like Science Fiction reading, and does not bombard the uninitiated with continued references to warp drives, technical matrix networks of planets and galaxies, or DNA inspections into the genes and genetics of its creations. Instead this is science fiction with a mainstream approach, satisfying Sci-Fi buffs but not alienating others."
