Dox remains my favorite anti-hero (at least for the moment). He is selfish, out to make a profit providing police services, and really doesn't seem to care about others. His own biological son (Dox himself is a clone) calls them the most dysfunctional family in the galaxy and why not? Brainiac is Dox's "father". All four (yes Dox's son creates his own "Brainiac") try to kill each other. Dox pulls a a couple surprises to eventually win the day, but it is only the day. Both the planets Colu and Rann remain unstable, and Dox is threatened with arrest at the end of this volume.

I don't recall finding anything wrong with the plot, not that I particularly remember it now, nor the style. However, I felt Iain Banks was unable to write believable female characters and with the protagonist being female I found it difficult to take the book seriously.

I was sort of upset with the push to do something to help young girls with babies in the Caribbean countries because there's so much of it going on in the United States, and it seems disregarded just because we aren't a third world country.
