It's a slow start. I keep feeling like I missed a book that should have been read first -- but I've looked & looked at the list of Grand Tour books to verify that I haven't skipped an prequel. Bova himself says, "Remember, however, that any of these novels can be read completely independently of the others. ... There is no absolute need to read the novels in any particular order." So, I'm expecting things to pick up and then I'll suddenly discover than I've read a hundred pages or more without realizing it. I have a similar pattern when I read one of Tom Clancey's novels.
