Title: Boring with one dimensional characters
Review: I read the first of this series and was bored to tears with Harry's long-windedness. For some reason, a few months later, I decided to buy this book to see how the lizards made out.What a mistake. This book is so boring that I just skipped entire chapters to avoid having to read one more narrative about some arrested-development adolescent shooting his gun and thinking with his crotch.The one exception to this is the Jens Larsen character who gets utterly reamed by the author. (Note to Mr. Turtledove: you are not Charles Dickens. When you try things like this, you come across as crass and manipulative. Stick to your standard simplistic and silly descriptions of combat.)The villains in these books have to be the biggest morons in the universe and they have so many vulnerabilities (they can't handle the cold? Geeze!) that defeating them is a challenge only for the twits populating the pages of this book.Stay away. This book is a waste of money.
