The ending of the book was a deus ex machina of the most clumsy kind. Not only did the "gods" sweep in the save the day in the last chapter, but their existence and powers were not established in the previous books or the vast majority of this one. Indeed the saviors seem to violate what we know of the universe previously established by the author. Just to top it off deus ex machina are also an egregious example of the "noble savage" or a sort of "Magical Native American" come to save the day. Additionally characters seemed to act in a way contrary to their previously show personality, millions die to make points, characters you like die in pointless ways, and even when characters you were meant to hate get their comeuppance it is not particularly well handled. My advice at this point in the series is to have stopped back with Book Three, The White Mountain and imagine a better ending to the series. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Chung Kuo VI: White Moon, Red Dragonsees the reign of the Seven T'ang in a time of great, bloody upheaval. The rebel leader DeVore, thought dead by his enemies, has returned and is readying a terrifying flotilla to fight against the T'ang, the dictators of Earth. On Mars, another rebel, the long-exiled Hans Ebert, is formulating an audacious plan to bring a lost African tribe home again, and on Earth, the continental mega-cities of the T'ang begin to crumble as war ripples across the planet. It is a time of endings and beginnings, when the last of the T'ang, Li Yuan, will make a terrifying alliance...when chaos will strike in the form of human-looking androids programmed to kill...and when Emily Ascher, a woman dedicated to liberty for the billions the T'ang have kept in chains, will see her vision blossom in blood red.
