Title: The dregs of science fiction
Review: This book is a complete waste of time. It's a fast read, but it has no substance. It has no narrative tension. It has no characters. It is a sloppy amalgamation of all the "telepathy with aliens" stories every published, written in what is probably supposed to be chic and spare present tense. To be fair, I did enjoy one page of it, in which the aliens join with Noelle's mind, and it is described only in terms of the features of the brain. I found this a very effective narrative device. But the ending is entirely brainless. I plan to try a different Silverberg novel, if I can bring myself to do it.
