Title: 1/3 of a novel
Product review: To me, a good pulp fiction novel has to stand as a complete work, even if it's part of a larger group - - in this case, a trilogy. That's the problem with "The Tenth Planet." At the end of the book, nothing's explained. The reader has no more idea how this plot will resolve than he did on page one.Unlike Stephen King's excellent serial novel, "The Green Mile," this book had very little on the cover blurbs to indicate that it was only a part of a continuing project. This is less a novel than it is a slick marketing ploy by the publisher to rope you into buying the next two books in the series. I may have been inclined to do that - - the writing and ideas in this book are, on the whole, good. But I'm not going to, because I just don't feel like being jerked around.
