Review title: 80% whine, 15% fiction, 5% science
Product review: all throughout the book, the main protagonists just keep whining and whining and whining. each chapter is a rehash of the protagonist navel-gazing, wondering why anyone would ever want to assassinate him. a snail moves faster than this book's plot. and then at the last 20 pages, the book suddenly gains an urgency you never thought was there. it was like a hack writer nearing his maximum word count!i read the other reviews and said the story gets better as the series goes on. i'm like, my God! for their sake i hope it does! if i haven't read their review i would never even think of picking up another Cherryh book again (this is the 1st Cherryh book i've read)
