A sequel to 'The Jesus Incident'.

More Avata. WorShip!

Lotta nipple talk.

Identity and love, culture and expectations, evolution and extinction... all th sse come to a head in the third book of Destination Void!

Herbert is smarter than me and I like it.

Frank Herbert sure likes people that live in vats, particularly if they might be some different, mystical, far-sighted version of humanity.

I picked this one up because I'd loved Dune so much, but both this one and The Jesus Incident left me non-plussed. In reading more sci-fi since then, and growing up quite a bit myself in the intervening years, I really feel like I should give it another chance. I must have been just a bit too young to really get the layers within this one. Taken at face value there just aren't any driving characters to keep you immersed.

Interesting enough to keep my attention, but not a real page-turner. I think I'm still going to finish the series, though.
