Title: David Drake left out a plot
Review: I have read only a few of this author's work, this one was disappointing. In the chapter entitled Into the Fire the redlined troops finally capture a live Kalendru, and they interrogate the alien. We, the readers, learn how .any aliens landed on the planet, how their aircrafts also exploded, how the plant life killed the aliens and other drival. In the next chapter we learn the humans are looking for a "door" to an underground chamber that holds the key to "turning off" the flora trying to kill everyone. Supposedly the humans got this info during the interrogation. HUH????? This was not in the interrogation!! I am supposing the author slipped up. Then in the last chapter before the epilogue we find many children of the Kalendru are with the humans. Again HUH?? Then then book ends and we have now idea what happened to the colonists. Again HUH?? How are we to rate a book with no apparent ending?
Is the review positive or negative?
