Summary
Humanity has taken to the stars, using faster-than-light travel to reach distant planets and new worlds. But in the far reaches of the galaxy, John Grant will discover a planet of humans who believe he has travelled not only through space to find them, but time.
On Apis, the mysterious Fermi appear to have vanished, taking with them knowledge of the universe that humanity desires. But Marcus Owen, the robot AI now plagued with sentience, knows that the Fermi would not easily abandon the native life of Apis, and that they won't take kindly to mankind asserting dominance on a world that does not belong to them.
Beyond the Light Horizon is the jaw-dropping conclusion to the Lightspeed trilogy from science fiction legend Ken MacLeod, a thrilling tale of politics, AI and the far reaches of space.

Enjoyable end to the trilogy
It was good. Not great, but it was a satisfying end to the trilogy. I quite liked the universe and think there’s a lot of scope for interesting stories within this, though I think you end up needing to look farther into the future. The idea of the despair of space going civilisations is pretty interesting and I wish there’d been more development of that idea. But I guess it’s left to our own imaginations now…. Definitely a book worth your time, but start with the first book.

More great worldbuilding, but no satisfying ending
If this was book 3 of 4 I'd be leaving a much more positive review. The worldbuilding in the first two thirds of the book is of the same high calibre as books one and two, and sets up some very interesting questions that the final third of the book steadfastly refuses to answer. The actual ending comes out of nowhere and massively flattens the questions at hand, and left me deeply disappointed. The epilogue which, after a timeskip, implies a much more interesting ending occurred offscreen did not help my feelings here.
