Title: Wow - absolutely unreadable, even for Bolo lovers.
Review: Gosh...I love me some Bolos. Have read 5 or 10 other Bolo books, and liked them all. Absolutely could not get through this one. I can't even think of another book that I couldn't stand long enough to finish...usually am able to plow through to the end "just to see what happens," but I just couldn't stomach this.The authors convinced me right away that the bad guys were really bad. Super bad. Like, Darth Vader bad. But the book is 750 pages long. 750 pages that do nothing bad hammer in that point, over and over again, while the only "normal" characters try to understand "How can they be so bad? How can they do these things?" After about thirty pages of bad things, I didn't CARE why the bad guys were doing them. It's a Bolo book! Just fracking SHOOT them, already!
