Title: A big disappointment
Product review: It's too bad the series had to end this lamely. No plot development, no character development, just more weapons & slaughter.The brief humorous episode mentioned by some other reviewers, is not funny. A highly competent female officer is introduced. She has large breasts, so Ringo invents a plot device to strip her naked publicly, humiliate her, and, oh yeah, mistakenly tell her that she's going to die from radiation exposure. Not even remotely funny.It's insulting for the author to offer a product that he obviously knows is inferior, then apologize for it in the afterword. I don't care about his problems finishing the book. He's competing in the marketplace for my dollars (someone as gung-ho for American ideals as Ringo must know this), but I won't buy any of his future books. He makes an unconvincing promise that the series will be taken up again at some future date. He clearly isn't really interested, and neither am I.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
