This is the second and last book of the Intervention series. We find out if humanity is accepted into a Galactic civilization or are quarantined to stay on Earth. Political and social unrest come to a final conclusion here.

I think I am being generous with a two star review. Absolutely nothing happens until the last twenty pages of this book. Everything else is nothing but political discussions regarding the manifestation of mental powers in people around the world.

Mind-numbingly boring is all you really need to know about this book.

One more in the whole Human Polity, Intervention, Remillard clan tale.

5 stars even if one of the slighter weaker books in the series.

Simply the best space opera, and the best series of novels I've ever read. This is the first of the nine, and while the last three show signs of fatigue, these novels capture a cast of characters, and one in Marc Remillard, that are truly memorable. From the worlds and milieu May imagines to her evocative themes, the novels capture humanity with all its foibles and promise, and if you stick around for #6, you'll get the best plot twist in all of bookdom.

Rogi Remillard is the entire reason for reading all of Julian May's saga of the Remillard family. Very few other characters are likable at all, but Rogi makes it all fall together, and somehow, always saves the day.

Uncle Rogi is a likeable, and sometimes interesting, protagonist, but the sweep and wonder of the earlier books is not to be found at all here.

Is this "Intervention" split into three volumes? Or was there a sequel to "Intervention" I never knew about?

Good series that gives a lot more background to the prior series.

An enjoyable part of the Galactic Milieu series...or perhaps part 2 of the prequel to that!
