Title: Astonishingly Bad
Review: OK, the story idea is kind of good. Earth has been contacted by races, fighting a long war, who aren't constitutionally able to fight. So we're needed. Very good. From that rather nice premise we descend into a mess of detail unessential to the story, characters almost indistinguishable from one another, bad motivations and dopey people who get to develop dopey ideas at length. Well, I'm an SF addict and it took 200 pages before I'd had enough. Some ideas are lifted from Heinlein and others without much attempt to carry them further. On the bright side, it's only 4 clams, delivered.
