In some way, this is the anti Star Trek. While the series is fundamentally optimistic, with a universe populated with species that usually try to have mutually beneficial relationships with others, this author's universe is ruled by the simple principle that every species out there will destroy any other if they find it. I was kept intrigued enough to keep going, but found many long sections quite tedious. The last two books could easily have been condensed into one. This said, some of the ideas were quite captivating, and the end certainly lives up to the idea of a big picture. Unfortunately, as many have mentioned, the deep sexism that permeates the entire trilogy is hard to accept.
