Title: Far below Turtledove's previous standard
Review: World War I style trench warfare alternated horrifying danger with stupifying boredom, all in squalid living conditions. Unfortunately, the first book in Turtledove's new great war series is just boring. The interweaving of plausibly developed historical figures with fictional characters which was such a delightful part of his Worldwar series and his two Civil War books is mostly absent and he doesn't juggle the multiple plotlines as adeptly as in prior works. Sadly, the book reads like a plodding pot-boiler. Hope springs eternal, so I'll probably finish reading the series.....but I'll wait for the paperback version for the next volume!
