Title: Great idea...good characters
Review: Great idea of a man found on the moon is 50,000 years old.When Hogan uses just the stoy and dialogue to move things along/to exchange ideas/involving the reader with what is happening--he is excellent. But when he uses the author as voice over--let me fill you in on what's happening now through straight prose--the story weakens. This also shows up in another Hogan novel I'm reading. James--you are excellent in story-narrative-dialogue--no more Telling us what's happening, a good editor would of said, James--SHOW us don't TELL us. Still worth 4 stars.
