Negative Positive
Title: Abduction is DOA, here's the post-mortem.
Review: As a long time science fiction fan, I found the book poorly written and dreadfully predictable. Cook uses a condescending, didactic style that is clearly oblivious to several generations of development of the genre. (It openly acknowledges the influence of Jules Verne, and is reminiscent of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Lin Carter in places...which would be fine if it were 1936.) Further, I was completely appalled with the occasional gaffes in basic physics. ("Supersonic" trains in a vacuum tunnel?!? OK, that's probably not how he meant it, but it's what he WROTE.)Run, don't walk away from this one. Back to the medical thrillers, doc.
Is the review positive or negative?
