Query: Never became engaging...

Johannes Wright is the Ninth Master of Holywelkin's Orchestra, a magnificent machine that produces music. Every so often, The Orchestra, with the Master, tours the Solar System to perform. However, during this tour, there are those who want The Orchestra, or the Master, to fail. The originator of The Orchestra, physicist Arthur Holywelkin, may have left behind a legacy that most can never understand.I'm a fan of a number of Kim Stanley Robinson's books (Mars trilogy, Antarctica), but this one really never left the starting gate. The Orchestra always seemed like a weird device in a time of advanced physics. Wright was being chased, The Orchestra was being threatened, the planets and asteroids had their own unique cultures...I expected more.
