I suspect that I shall get cross at the lack appreciation of the general application of the individual case. But let's see.
Hmm... well. I can't recommend this book. It has a very unlikely premise (which is OK, I can give a book one impossible thing to hang a story on), but then continues to add ever more unlikely things. Combined with thin unconvincing characters, irrational actions and... just no.

2/5 at best.

Next up: Legions of Space by Keith Laumer. My oldest unread purchased ebook, from 15 September 2004.
