I can understand that. As Ramen pointed out about book samples in general, some of my books also take a lot more than 2 chapters to really get ramped up and going. In many cases, I think, they best serve to present the reader with the characters and setting, not so much to advance the plot. (Obviously this wouldn't apply to a series, like
Trek, where you already know the characters... the 1st 1-2 chapters better advance the plot, or else.)
