Title: Misleading
Product review: I am a huge Bear fan-but this book reminds me of Orson Scott Card milking his Enders Game success ad nauseaum.The most charitable explanation I can think of is that Bear didn't even write this book-perhaps it is ghost written. The connection to EON and ETERNITY is laughable.If you are in the mood for an Edgar Rice Burroughs style Tarzan novel from the 30's -you might find this interesting.I wouldn't have minded this too much if Bear had been honest about this book and not tried to connect it to EON/ETERNITY. It might have worked as a stand alone fantasy adventure. Hardcore science fiction-this is not. Its going rate of 40 cents on the used list is a good gauge of the value of this book. If I could get my money back-I would.
