Satisfying conclusion to the Coyote Trilogy.
Steele has done a masterful job of world-building with his imagining of Earth's first attempt to colonize a planet outside the home solar system, and turns his lens this time on what might happen to the tough little world if it had to grow up and put on shoes.
Technological advances since the original colonizing ship left Earth have broken the FTL barrier, and what had been a remote and struggling society now must cope with becoming a functioning member of a galactic partnership. Their ability to export raw materials to a dying Earth, and to import technologies to solidify their foothold on Coyote bring both practical and ethical challenges. And just to put the cherry on top, Steele harkens back to something planted early in the first novel, which sends things spinning off in an entirely new plane, even as the trilogy's basic story is winding down.
