Title: Forty Beats on the Same Drum
Review: Robinson has written some pretty good stuff -- the Mars trilogy and Years of Rice and Salt (one of my faves). This book is simply too preachy, too slow moving, and too boring. Even the scenes that were inserted to increase tension are surprisingly slack. Usually when I finish a book in a short series, I quickly go seek out the next volume. Here I have no interest in finding out what happens. It is all so obvious! Why bother reading on about it if the characters are so dull??I had to force myself to finish this book. Ouch.Read KSR's other books and leave this one alone.
