Earth is a dying planet. To survive, humanity founds the Circuit, a string of colonies across the solar system, dedicated to mining resources vital to preserving what remains of mankind. Here there are no heroes or villains, only those willing to do what's necessary to survive. The New Earth Tribunal, a powerful religious faction, has risen to rule the Circuit. They believe a Spirit within the Earth will one day appear and welcome humanity back home.

So-so sci-fi

It’s not a great story. Start with an implausible premise, add some pattern-matched characters, splash on a heavy dose of hand of god “twists”, and you get The Circuit. Jefferson Mays can’t save it.

Tristan Lyons, Mel Stokes, and their fellow outcasts from the Department of Diachronic Operations (D.O.D.O.) fight to stop the powerful Irish witch Gráinne from using time travel to reverse the evolution of all modern technology. Chief amongst Gráinne’s plots: to encrypt cataclysmic spells into Shakespeare’s “cursed” play, Macbeth. When her fellow rogue agents fall victim to Gráinne’s schemes, Melisande Stokes is forced to send Tristan’s untested, wayward sister Robin back in time to 1606 London.

A worthy successor

I enjoyed The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. The Master of the Revels is an entertaining sequel. I enjoy the “documented history” presentation style that the carries over. It was great to reunite with some of the characters I loved (Grainne) and hated (Blevins). The story is a bit less organized, and some of the plot lines are left dangling. I miss the science and technical details. I like the ensemble narration style that Carrie’s over from the original.

In 2004, Doctor Damien Howard's 131st birthday celebration took an unexpected turn. His personal SETI project detected an extraterrestrial signal directed at Earth. Unfortunately, Dr. Howard's long-hoped-for communication contained a message of dire warning rather than greeting. In 1945, humanity had become a species of galactic interest and was given 100 years to address the issue.

Thirteen hundred gates have opened to solar systems around the galaxy. But as humanity builds its interstellar empire in the alien ruins, the mysteries and threats grow deeper. In the dead systems where gates lead to stranger things than alien planets, Elvi Okoye begins a desperate search to discover the nature of a genocide that happened before the first human beings existed and to find weapons to fight a war against forces at the edge of the imaginable. But the price of that knowledge may be higher than she can pay.

Still going strong in book 9, what an accomplishment!
Reviewed: 09-30-20
Nine books in, and James S. A. Corey just keeps bringing it! Another compelling narrative arc, more breath and depth from the characters we love. More excitement, pain, joy, indignation, and sadness. More of the same formula we know and love, packaged up just differently enough—again—to be fresh and new. Thank you!
