Negative Positive
Title: Weak characterizations, coupled with mediocre plot.
Review: After reading Icehenge and Moving Mars, Bova's characters are paper thin and unbelievable. The plot pace jerks along from one implausible situation to the next. This book and the sequel, Moonwar are a great disappointment to those of us who like 'realism' in their science fiction.
