Title: I guess every author has a clunker now & then
Product review: It has an interesting premise and the beginning showed promise, but then the book seemed to focus on showing you how clever the author is. Endless detailed dialog about who's commanding the mission, focus on nipples, cutesy little responses from the main computer - anything but telling a story.Worse yet, then he starts citing all these other contemporary science fiction works, INCLUDING HIS OWN! So much for any chance of immersing oneself in another world - impossible when you are being reminded that you are reading a work of fiction about other works of fiction.I loved Stranger in a Strange Land and Jobe. This one I gave to my parrot - I would not foist this on another reader. I have only done that to one other book in my life.
