Title: I was disappointed
Review: I think that L. Ron Hubbard is an amazing author. Battlefield Earth is the greatest science fiction novel I have read. The Mission Earth series was a great read. Hubbards command of the english language and the cadence of his storytelling is that of a master. It is too bad that so many people seem to avoid his work due to Dianetics and Scientology.Final Blackout was written nearly 40 years before Battlefield Earth. His growth as an author during those years was painfully apparant after reading Final Blackout. His description of events and depth of character are scattered and weak, and I often felt lost in the stories path. I can see some early examples of his style that become perfected in his later works, but in this novel it really didn't quite work and I was disappointed.
