Title: Wish I could give this 0 stars
Product review: Yet another of the fan-fic atrocities from Baen. I cannot believe that a respected publisher, whose backlist includes Bujold, Moon, McCaffrey, Flint, Drake, and Weber is actually paying to print this tripe. To say that the characters are cardboard is to do a disservice to a useful substance. To say that the plot is hackneyed is to slur workhorses. To say that this author is unable to develop a single original idea is an understatement. Even the names of his characters are something pulled out of a bad satire. It's a good thing it's so bad, though, since that means Paramount won't bother coming after him for egregious use of the term "warp speed." This one went straight to the used book store, and I want not only my money, but the time I wasted reading three chapters back.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
