Wahh.
The man can't do decent character development and introduces everyone through little chunks of exposition. Having said that the idea was great and once I was past the first painful 100[0] pages the remaining 393[1] were worth it.
The human race knows an omega cloud will arrive near Earth in a thousand years. It will wreak havoc but it is too far in the future for human governments to respond to meaningfully. When a more innocent and dreadfully cute alien race is threatened by another cloud things become a little more urgent.
Utterly spoiling the plot.
I love the idea of giant clouds of hostile nanotechnology slowly crawling though space following massive spikey lures to their eventual explosive destination which might be a firework display for a race sitting sixteen thousand light years above the Milky Way.
