Synopsis:
|
Four after the
previous book, Roen is married to Jill and has a 3 year old son named
Cameron. Unfortunately, under the urging of Tao, Roen has pretty much
abandoned his family to fight against the Genjix and find out what
their master plan is. Tao is convinced that the Genjix no longer wish
to return to their homeworld and have nefarious plans for Earth and
humanity.
This appears to be
the plan and the Prophus, now very much decimated due to botched
leadership, must play catchup, if at all possible.
My
Thoughts:
|
I gave up on this book so late in the game because I was realizing I
simply didn't care. I didn't care about stupid Roen Tan. I didn't
care about the miserable alien Tao. I didn't care about the idiots at
the top of the Prophus. I didn't care that the aliens were attempting
to terraform earth to their own standards.
For phracks sake, I am more competent at command than those idiots in the Prophus. That really annoyed me. Not my can of energy drink at all and I'll be avoiding anything by Chu in the future. 3 tries is enough.
This book gave me the exact same vibe that I got from Time
Salvager. So nothing particularly wrong with this book
and I can't point to something specific and say “I don't like that”
but it's just apparent that I don't like Chu's books and writing
style and choice of protagonists.
I feel rather generous giving this 2 stars, but honestly, there is
nothing wrong here to take it lower, I simply didn't like it.
★★☆☆☆
