"Where to start? With a death sentence, perhaps. But whose—my death sentence or hers? And if mine, which of mine? There are several from which to choose. Perhaps this final one is appropriate. Begin at the ending.
An intriguing start! I'm glad Simmons has gone with the first person narrative as I feel this is where he most excels."

"There was no jury. The judge took less than twenty minutes to reach a verdict. I was guilty and sentenced to execution by deathwand.
Guilty of what? Assault? I hope to learn more about how the Pax courts deal with "murder" in this new society. It's just a pity the guy did not stay dead!
This is off to a good start:)"

"“A thing of beauty is a joy forever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness …�
It has taken three books, but I might finally be warming to these Keats quotes. The Tethys poem was no bad either:) Raul seems an interesting character, but it was nice to see a few familiar faces."

"“Is your memory malfunctioning?�
“No, not at all, as far as I can deduce, there was some traumatic event about two hundred standard years ago which deleted certain memories, but since then my memory and other faculties have been flawless.�
This is an interesting development, but also quite a sad one."

"“Thirty seconds,� says the idiot voice. “Be advised that the C-plus translation will be lethal.�
“Thanks,� says Father Captain Federico de Soya.
“Fifteen seconds,� says the ship. “You might wish to pray now.�
“Fuck you,� says de Soya.
LOL:) I hope I can warm to this guy. Fast, post TechnoCore, space travel sounds like no fun at all!!!"

"“Then you accept, Raul Endymion?� asked the poet, his voice strong and formal. “You accept this mission to save Aenea, travel with her, and accomplish these other things?�
Poor Raul. That is some to-do list he has been tasked with!"

"“Don’t look,� I called over my shoulder, slowing the mat as we banked around the south end of the Keep. It was too late. Aenea stared with wide eyes.
“Damn him!� she cried again.
Another familiar face and this one is just as prickly as the last one:)"

"Information is always to be treasured, Raul. It is behind only love and honesty in a person’s attempt to understand the universe.
This is ticking along nicely again after a short dull phase."

"End of Chapter27. Well, I'm no longer on the fence about Father de Soya. Now I'm disgusted by him:(
On the plus side I'm much happier with Simmons space ship conflicts than I was with those in my recent Star Wars reads."

"“That’s all right,� I said. “We’re just going to check this out and get right back to the river.�
“Why?� said the ship. “Why investigate something which has nothing to do with your plans to travel downriver?�
Aenea leaned over and lifted my wrist. “We’re human,� she said.
The ship did not reply.
The various AI's are one of most fascinating aspects of this world. We need more of them!"

“Do you remember what the last message on the fatline was before it went down during the Fall?� asked the child.
“Yes,� I said, closing my eyes.
I hope we get an answer to this particular mystery."

Ugh...that ungrateful wretch! No good deed goes unpunished for sure.
The action has picked up a bit. Waterworld has been quite eventful."

"“The power grid’s still on,� said Aenea. “Food that was left out has all spoiled, but the fridge compartments are still cold. Tables are set in some of the houses, holopits humming with static, radios hissing. But no people.�
“But also no signs of violence,� said the android
I think I know what has happened here and who did it. Though I did have to overcome my knee jerk initial reaction of who is to blame:)"

""what’s the reason for this dead end?�
Aenea shrugged, which—under different circumstances—would have looked a bit comical, she was so swathed in layers. “A temptation,� she said.
I did not understand. “Temptation for what?�
What indeed! Interesting happenings."

"“When His Holiness ordered the Holy Office to take back its old title—the Inquisition—a few of the nonbelievers thought that the days of madness and terror within the Church had returned.

"“This � abomination � will destroy all that,� says Lourdusamy, his voice deadly serious now. “As I said to you one year ago, this is not a child we seek, it is a virus. And we know now whence that virus comes.�
De Soya listens.
“His Holiness has had one of his visions�
A vision! Well, no need for a logical reason then."

"The chrome shape seemed to see the danger seconds before it was too late. It disappeared, reappeared as a blur—fist shaking toward the sky—disappeared again, reappeared a final time, and then sank into the lava under its feet where solid rock had been an instant earlier.
