Title: Ugh Ugh Ugh ... Me, Writer ... You, Reader ... Read Now!
Product review: The ideas and situations covered here and veritably lifted from other books (see the works of Asimov and Clancy as well as the masterful EE. Doc Smith for reasonable starting points). To imply that the writer elevates the comic-book-to-novel scenario is a tremendous disservice to the fields of literature as well as graphic novels. The characters are entirely one-dimensional with extraordinarily little sense of purpose, and the situations -- while remotely interesting -- remind readers immediately of the stellar works of Allistar McClain as well as Robert Ludlum.Perhaps the writer was stretching for such comparisons, but, in the sense that they appear to be loosely veiled (very loose, at that) comparisons.One plus is that EPSILON is, thankfully, a very quick read. It makes the pain, much like dental work, less intimidating.
