Review title: Dark and Ponderous
Product review: I'm afraid I was disappointed by this first volume in a series which is already projected to 5 volumes. The plot background, basically a reverse v'ger with an ounce or two of X-files, unfolds in truly tedious fashion. Action occurs in short jerky motions. Tunnel chases get interrupted for philosophical soliliquies, etc. Conspiracy lovers will have a ball, however. The writer picks up on all the old theories and adds dashes of aliens where you would never expect them. Literally nothing is as it seems. If you like dark, baroque, excrutiatingly complex settings this will be a series you might come to love. Our best hope here is that this ponderous writing is corrected in later volumes by other authors and that the core story becomes a rich source of invention. In the meantime, I'm pretty sure you will have to read volume 1 to be able to follow what's coming.
