The finale of the Diogenes trilogy is a doozy.
Plots within plots within plots (a la Dune) describe this book.
There's a plot within the FBI/prison authorities to break Aloysius Pendergast in his high security prison.
There's a plot to break Aloysius out of that prison.
There's Diogenes' revenge plot that is intricate, long term, and ultimately lethal. Of course, Diogenes also has subplots and back-up plans.
The gala opening of a new exhibit at the museum mirrors a similar plot line of Relic. As you're reading, you know it will be a disaster, even worse than the Relic disaster, because Diogenes is behind it. You also know that Aloysius will somehow come through again with the help of Vincent D'Agosta, Laura Hayward, and Bill Smithback.
