Negative Positive
Title: Ultimately Unsatisfying
Review: I appreciate Anderson's interest in SF and his desire to make it real by placing this novel in the hear and now. But like so many SF novels, this one simply ends. You read, you get excited, you hope for a miracle, you get a flat ending. All the promise developed in the characters, including the Alien, simply fades away. Actually, I forgot this book the day after I read it.
