After eighty years of fragile peace, the Architects are back, wreaking havoc as they consume entire planets. In the past, Originator artefacts – vestiges of a long-vanished civilization – could save a world from annihilation. Yet the Architects have discovered a way to circumvent these protective relics. Suddenly, no planet is safe.
Facing impending extinction, the Human Colonies are in turmoil. While some believe a unified front is the only way to stop the Architects, others insist humanity should fight alone. And there are those who would seek to benefit from the fractured politics of war – even as the Architects loom ever closer.
Idris, who has spent decades running from the horrors of his past, finds himself thrust back onto the battlefront. As an Intermediary, he could be one of the few to turn the tide of war. With a handful of allies, he searches for a weapon that could push back the Architects and save the galaxy. But to do so, he must return to the nightmarish unspace, where his mind was broken and remade.
What Idris discovers there will change everything.

"eyes of the void" keeps the pace going and doesn't deviate from the formular of the first book. Still not on par with the great sci-fi classics but a good read for me. The characters aren't getting on my nerves, the plot is mysterious and keeps me curious and has the right amount of epic-ness to it. Though the last 200 pages were action non-stop which got a little bit tiredsome.
Prislo me to o neco pomalejsi / rozvlacnejsi oproti jednicce, mozna i proto, ze kulisy byly docela znamy. Postupne to ale slusne gradovalo az k paradni posledni petine. Taky prislo naky metafyzicno, ktery sem od Tchaikovskyho v prvni casti trosku postradal. I druha cast drzi peknou linii, ze space opery trosku (ale jenom malinko) dal k serioznejsimu podani (ale fakt spis jen kapka sem a tam).
did not finish. unbearable. i don't know what it is about trilogies that makes tchaikovsky so much less interesting an author - some of his standalone novels are the best contemporary science fiction.
A well-written bloody good story.
