Title: Disappointing
Review: Having read Bova's books on Mars exploration I was very disappointed in this book. It was not up to the standard he set with Mars and Return to Mars. I found it to be juvenal. It was hard to believe it was written by Bova. The characters were shallow and it contained goofy elements like a talking gorilla and dolphins on the space station. Much of the book was what I consider "fill". The whole story could be written in a few paragraphs and it was expanded to novel length by silly arguments and conflicts between the shallow characters. I know he can write a good yard and I hope he does better in the future.
