A Rather Disappointing conclusion,
By
This review is from: Isaac Asimov's Robots in Time: Invader (Paperback)
for both the serious and the book left a bad taste in my mouth. Nystrom, who has hunted through the Mesozoic, Spanish Jamaica, Roman Germany, Stalin's Russia, Kubilai's China, and finally Arthur's Rome now gives up as being defeated just because he gets bonked on the head? C'mon!! This was a fun series because Nystrom was so very monomaniacal. Failing to accept for the entire six-book series that he would be treated in any way BUT unfair, all of the sudden we are expected to believe that he has changed his mind, just like that? It doesn't make sense and it just doesn't jibe. A truly disappointing ending for the novel, although the rest of it wasn't too bad. Unfortunately, though, at no point does the author seem to be very interested in telling the story. The Steve and Jane plot line leads to an expected direction with foretold conclusions, but that wasn't enough to overcome the rest of the ending. A rather blase ending to a really fun and energetic series. Perhaps a lesser known time or one more interesting to the author would have picked up his enthusiasm and helped us out. The dialogue was still sketchy, although far better by now, and the conclusion was a little compacted, but the technical parts of the story were not the failing this time. An unfortunate end, but important for closure. Plus Steve and Jane finally get together. Worthwhile in the end more for the other books than on its own merit. Read it and enjoy it, but probably only once.
