Title: More rubbish from this formerly promising novelist
Review: I have completely turned 180 degrees from being a fan of Baxtor to absolutely loathing the garbage he's been writing in recent years. He had a good run early on, but has totally lost touch with his base. I loved Ring, The Time Ships, Flux, all the way up to Vacuum Diagrams, which seems to have been a turning point in his career--for the worst. This novel, like all of his recent work, suffers from very weak character development, a highly suspect plot, way too many personal motivations injected into the story, questionable and outdated physics (such as his refusal to give up the preposterous multiverse theory, which Hawking refutes), and his obsession with explicit sexual scenes (a sure sign of a writer's demise). I will never read another ridiculous novel by this former author again.
Is the review positive or negative?
