This review is from: Squadron Alert (Starcruiser Shenandoah) (Paperback)

This is the first book in a series and is set in its own 'verse, so there is a fair amount of exposition involved. Mr Green handles it well and avoids the "As you know, Bob" dialog which is the curse of the genre. The point of view jumps around the ensemble cast, which can be disorienting if you're not used to it. Had Amazon been around then, I'd have bought more of the series after reading this one.

This review is from: Squadron Alert (Starcruiser Shenandoah) (Paperback)

One of the few SciFi novels I've actually failed to finish. Unengaging characters, very disjointed writing. Don't waste your time.

I had trouble reading this book, but I did finish it. I do not think you can really write a review on a book without reading the book. How else would you know how flat the story was, or how poorly written the book was? I already wasted my time reading the book, so I feel this is all the time I need to waste on reviewing it. Buyer Beware!
