This is completely hard sci-fi. In 2198, the solar system is attacked, Uranus is mostly destroyed. Jump forward to 3200, the solar system has gone stealth, hiding it from another attack. A generation ship returns from 1 of the worlds that were settled after the initial attack, and winds up unveiling secrets that have haunted the worlds for the last millenium.
There are lots of great hard sci-fi concepts in this book, but really very little suspense or conflict. I guess I should like this, I am increasingly stress, suspense, & conflict avoidant, but, I wound up binge reading the book this afternoon to finish it & be done with it. A good hard sci-fi read, good concepts, but definitely not a page turner.
