Review title: An Utter Waste of Time
Product review: Where do I begin? This has to be one of the worst written books I have ever read. I love science fiction, particularly hard sf and space opera, so I was really looking forward to this series. Instead, I struggled to finish the first book. I kept waiting for the story line to hook me in, but it never happened. There are way too many characters, and they all make cardboard look like it has a vivid personality. If publishers wonder why they are inundated with half-baked manuscripts, publishing garbage like this is the reason why. It just leaves the average reader thinking "Hey, I could have written something better than this!".
