I kind of agree to some extent with the above; I am equal opportunity sff reader - I enjoy equally RK Morgan and J. Ringo which are to me kind of similar in style and opposite in politics - but
The Last Centurion was a big disappointment because it was all tell, no show. Very little action, just talk and talk and while Mr. Ringo's diatribes are ok at several pages, 300 of them is way too much.
