3.0

I'm a character driven reader so lack of strong characterization, combined with lots of hard sci-fi explanations, made the overall story feel somewhat flat. 

I did enjoy the 3rd part the best, especially where we start getting all the explanations; they were extremely creative and fun to think about.
