One of the reviews I received from a Beta reader used that term. Any ideas as to what they meant. I could ask them but I dont want to sound like an idiot.

Michael,
I am sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I enjoyed your book very much, it had some interesting plot points, and derivative devices.
