Title: Cool alien stuff, zero substance.
Review: If you like alien stuff, simple plots, long books with lots of action packed testoerone, this is a book for you.If you prefer literature where characters are complex and well developed, and plots that are complex and unpredictable then you will want to pass on this one.This novel was about action, aliens, and one-dimensional characters going on and on in (often ludicrous) conflict after conflict. On this level I was mildly entertained (I did bother to finish the book).I was bored with the characters, especially Johnny Goodboy Tyler. At times I wanted him killed off just to end the misery. I was begging for a plot twist, for some simple element of intelligent story development. I have seen better writing from a ninth grader.This was the first and very last book of Mr. Hubbard's that I will ever read.
