I've read the entire Kingsbridge series, but after The Armour of Light I'd be unwilling to blindly go ahead and purchase any additional books should any be released. All the goodwill built from the first two books has been spent, the next two books in the series were enjoyable but certainly lesser efforts, and now this book which is in a word dull. A series of two dimensional characters in various life situations with predictable outcomes. I'll end this way, if it was a library book I would have returned it without finishing.
