Title: If you saw Independence Day, you know the plot of this book!
Review: I had to force myself to finish this book. It was plotless, predictable, had lifeless characters, and frankly I wish I'd never bought it. There were way too many dumb references to "quaint" twentieth century things (ie, one character -- who was born in the thirtieth century, no less -- had to explain that there were no "Star Trek transporters." Plus there was a plethora of bad cliches being used, because, predictably, the female love interest was a historian who just happened to specialize in Poole's era). ARGH! It hurt my brain to read this book! Save yourself the bother -- if you absolutely have to read it, just check it out at the library. At least that way you don't have anything invested in it and you can put it down without feeling like you wasted your money.
