Title: Do Readers Sleep?
Review: A wonderful title. Unfortunately the prose did not stand up to the same expectations. The idea of an interstellar war carried out at sub-light speeds creates a lot of possible twists and turns. At the halfway point of the story, I knew the out come and solutions. No surprises.The characters seemed flat, even the reoccurring ones. The plot showed no real motion. There seemed to be no action. As a novel about first contact, I felt S.P. Somtow never watched the episode focused on first contract. Picard and his crew interfered into a culture that never developed on their own.I was truly disappointed in this walk around the park.
