Title: 500 Pages of Nothing
Review: I first picked up this book shortly after it was published in 1989. I finished it 15 years later because I found it languishing in a box in the basement. The Amazon review talks about how wonderful it is that the author spread out a slender thread over 500 pages. But this is exactly what is wrong with the book. It would have probably made a pretty decent 250 page book. All the reader gets in the additional 250 pages is filler, the same slim plot-lines repeated over and over. The ship puts ashore a landing party, the landing party finds nothing, the doctor tells the captain that the landing party has absorbed their limit on radiation. The author also tries to build up "suspense" in how the women will deal with the men, but I could see the "resolution" to this 200 pages before the ending. A truly awful book, deserving of NO stars.
