Story
In the mid-1870s, a violent spray of comets hits Earth, decimating cities, erasing shorelines, and changing the world's climate forever. And just as Earth's temperature dropped, so was civilization frozen in time. Instead of advancing technologically, humanity had to piece itself back together.... In the 21st century, boats still run on steam, messages arrive by telegraph, and the British Empire, with its capital now in Delhi, controls much of the world.

Marc Vitrac was born in the early 1960's, about the time the first interplanetary probes delivered the news that Mars and Venus were teeming with life, even human life. Now, in 1988, Marc has been assigned to the US-Commonwealth base on Venus. But there are flies in this ointment - and not only the Venusian dragonflies, with their yard-wide wings....Extravagant and effervescent, The Sky People is alternate-history SF adventure at its best.

The epic conclusion to the New York Times best-selling Change series set in a turbulent post-apocalyptic world in which humans have rebuilt society after the collapse of advanced technology.

boring and uninspired
in as few words as possible, I will try to convey my disappointment. this series could have been 7-10 really amazing books, but instead has been watered down to 15 repetitive, repetitive, and dare I say repetitive books. the narrator has done his best but you can't polish a turd. well, technically you can but why...
I needed to know how it ended so I bought them all. I have since returned 2, and am considering trying to return them all.
will NOT be buying SM Sterling ever again if this is how it goes...

A Disappointing Conclusion
When I read the summary, and found out this was the last novel of the Change series, I had a feeling I would be disappointed, and I was. To not get any glimpse of the far-future of this universe was truly frustrating. More so, even, than the Island in the Sea of Time series conclusion. You could tell that the author was just “done” with this story and just wanted it over with.

Good But Rushed
I have loved listening to all of The Change novels but this one felt kind of rushed. The cover of the book says that this is the final novel of The Change so I guess he's ready to move on. There was very little character development of the new characters and not a whole lot reasons why the existing characters acted the way that they do other than it was fated. An enjoyable read but the writer is obviously done and ready to move on .

What is S.M. Stirling thinking?
What is his editor thinking? I have to hand it to Todd McClaren, he gave a great reading of a terrible story. Just as in the Sea People: words words words that if were sold by the pound were worth millions, but it made this book a real labor. So back and forth the story goes as if anybody just picks up one of these books and reads it before all the others. Whatever he was trying to do with this book IT FAILED! and the ending REALLY? This is the last S.M. Stirling book I will ever purchase. And I own the complete series to date.

I'm sorry but...
You know, for such a dynamic series where you can get wrapped up in character's lives, this conclusion was underwhelming.
Mr. Stirling owed it to this epic to write a better conclusion. Oh well, such a bummer

The finale chapter of a magnificent series.
It's always bittersweet when a story you've been reading for more than a decade can't to a close, but Stirling ends this one with a bang. I left wanting more.

Rushed, disjointed and disappointing
Oh dear. After all this time. All these books. All the character development and all the depth we got given this. It felt like there was a white board with all the story threads on it and a “end by date” and a checkbox next to each one.
I am glad it’s the last one in the series. I wouldn’t have returned after this one anyway.
Shame, it would have better left unfinished if this was the only way to close it out.
