Negative Positive
Title: A rarity, a deeply mediocre McDevitt book
Review: Continued reuse of the same rather wooden lead character cast a pall of boredom over the opening chapters for me, "Hutch' is well past her sell by date and has hopefully now been pensioned off to well deserved obscurity. The book has it moments but struggles to rise above the quality of star trek's threadbare soap opera. The whole plot and especially the ending suffered from plodding predictability and lack of pzazz. Its all been done before with more style, better characters, and superior imagination.
Is the review positive or negative?
