Negative Positive
Title: Very, Slow
Review: Try as I might, I just couldn't get into this one, much less make it through it. The book has an interesting premise, as we discover that the Omegas have deviated from their previous course and are closing in on a yet-unexplored solar system. There, low and behold, we discover a civilization which is seemingly doomed to perish from the Omega clouds.Despite a great overall theme, this book drags, and drags, and drags. There are annoyances as well, such as the decision to throw "the protocol" out the window almost immediately. I forced myself to read approximately over 250 pages of Omega, but finally gave up. This is only the second book in my lifetime that I've abandoned.Not an interesting read. Die-hard fans of McDevitt may find some interest here, but in general this book disappoints greatly.
