Title: A brilliant writer takes a dive with "Nazi's in Space"
Review: I've been a big fan of John Barnes after reading his wonderful novel "Mother of Storms." He has a wonderful knack for adding special elements that kept the reader interested, as well as establishing believable characters and well woven plots. His collection of short stories, "Apostophes & Apocalypses" (Dec 98) was also superb.So what happened? This novel contains one of the most overworked themes, chopped up storylines and only glimpses of his usual brilliance. Maybe it could be hacked together as a "Nazi's in Space" b-grade movie for Hollywood--but even that would take some doing.If you are a die-hard Barnes fan, you may find some satisfaction here. I'm sorry to say that I didn't.
