Negative Positive
Title: Unbelievably drab
Review: In the prolog, the author brags about how he was known as one of the publisher's most prolific writers, moving from genre to genre as needed. I've been reading Fantasy and Sci-Fi for over 20 years and this is one of the weakest books I've picked up. The basic premise of the story is sound, but the author drones on and on clearly trying to fill pages. In many books, this is accomplished by building character definition and drawing the reader into a world that is crisp and inviting. However, several times in Battlefield the author drives the story to viable closure and then just restarts again in a new direction to fill more pages. I recommend you save yourself some time and choose a different author.
