Title: Excellent concept, poor execution.
Product review: Bloom's concept grabbed me right away. Unfortunately, the tone is annoyingly breezy, the plot is predictable, and the characters are unconvincing. The author is an engineer, and it shows; he should have spent less time inventing twenty-second century geek jargon and more time developing his characters.
