Review: Zenith Point is the fourth and final book in the in the Sector Fleet series by Nicola Claire, and closely follows books one (Accelerating Universe), two (Apparent Brightness) and three (Right Ascension). Actually, the timeline of Zenith Point runs parallel to the one of Right Ascension almost until the very end, when the characters from the previous books all get together. A lot of the events we read about in Zenith Point are the ones that we already saw in Right Ascension, though now from different points of view (and, for a while, opposite sides of what amounts to practically a war between two ships with artificial intelligences on board).
I can't say that Zenith Point is not well written or that, in terms of action, is inferior to any of the previous books - but I didn't get on very well with either Hugo or Adi as main characters. And Aquila is definitely not my favorite AI in the series.
In any case, it's the conclusion of the epic adventure that started on book one, and there's no way not to want to read it one way or the other. Overall, this is a great series for lovers of science fiction books with a dose of romance (more in some of the books than others, but there nonetheless) and you shouldn't miss it.
