Title: Great idea, poor writing, bad editing
Product review: It's always sad to see a good idea trashed by bad editing. Walt Becker is a fine storyteller, but a mediocre writer; the niceties of grammar and language are beyond him. A decent editor could have saved this book; someone with a knowledge of verb tenses, someone who knew the difference between 'bellow' and 'billow'. As a professional proofreader and copyeditor of Science Fiction, it always annoys me to see a good tale go to waste. It's unfortunate that no-one took the time with this one.
