Title: fragmented -- not a stand alone book
Review: "Dark Nadir" continues the ongoing saga of several groups of aliens -- humans, one bug-like, two cat-like, etc. This book is fragmented into some two dozen different point of view plotlines, all of which presume that the reader has read (and remembers clearly) the previous books. Near as I could tell, most of these numerous plotlines had very little in common with each other. Readers who (like me) have a hazy memory of "yeah I read that other book" will be completely lost.Look, I really enjoyed Norman's first book in this series -- it was an outstanding novel. Before you purchase this book, I highly recommend you go back to that first book and work your way through the series.
