Review title: Not much of a science fiction novel.
Product review: I have to admit right off that I only got as far as page 168 in this novel. I was just too bored to continue with it. It is difficult to believe that James P. Hogan wrote some of my favorite science fiction novels, "Code of the Lifemaker" (1983) for one, and then wrote this novel."The Legend that was Earth" does have space aliens but they really are just another class of people in this novel. There are a few futuristic ideas that are interesting but not many. This is really just another would be political adventure novel. I don't recommend it for science fiction fans.
